That year Huayu

Chapter 19 Investment

Lin Nan started to follow the class, and the classmates would also ask questions about this and that. The most asked questions were about life on the set.

The most direct question asked is how to attract investment. This question is very naked and the most difficult for students with no background.

No, Lin Nan saw a long-graduated senior at school, Ning Hao.

I heard that "Incense", which I put a lot of effort into, was lost to my grandma's house.

By the way, Liu Tianwang’s plan to direct new Asian stars will probably be implemented next year. Ning Hao will probably have to work for a while, and "Stone" will have to wait for two years.

"Wait a minute, why do you have to wait two years for King Liu Tian? Am I stupid? Cut off his beard."

Lin Nan thought happily that since Ning Hao was free, he could give him a script, give him funds, and let him work for him.

Without a big lineup, no promotion, and not a good schedule, "Stone" was like a dark horse and surprised everyone.

If Lin Nan were to invest, the original team would be making crazy money.

As soon as he said it, Lin Nan went to the photography department and asked, "Do you want Ning Hao's contact information?"

"Yes, I have a movie that I want to shoot but am too lazy to do. I just finished filming a movie." Lin Nan said seriously.

The teacher opposite nodded. Ning Hao was his student. The failure of "Incense" had a great impact on Ning Hao. He came back to see him during this period to see if he had any introductions to the crew.

Now there is an opportunity in front of me. Although it is given by a directing student, this student has already succeeded, right? He is also the owner of a film company who is co-producing with Shanghai Film and China Film.

"I'll call him over for you. When is the appointment?"

"Let's have a meal at six this afternoon."

Lin Nan quickly decided on a time. He had to skip class in the afternoon to finish the script.

"Teacher, tell him for me that I can handle the crew and funding. I have watched his "Thursday, Wednesday" and it was very good."

Lin Nanduo said something, giving the other party a reason. You can't just ask him to be the director without a reason.

In the afternoon, Lin Nan did not skip class, but asked for leave. I just typed out the script in my dormitory. At least the outline was perfect.

At a quarter past five, Lin Nan came out of the printing room, holding a stack of first drafts.

The location was chosen to be where I had dinner with Director Li Yang last time. Although the place was small, it was just for good luck.

Ning Hao is a 99-level photography major. I have to say that people in the photography department of the Film School have long legs. They all entered the directing circle without changing their majors. They are all big names. Representatives: Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, Zhang Li...

Ning Hao in 1977, seven years older than Lin Nan, brought his wife, Xing Aina, who was also a senior at the film school.

Lin Nan was a little nervous, as a fake Li Gui met the real Li Kui. The original script of "Stone" was written by this senior.

Lin Nan felt lucky that now, nearly two years in advance, the script was his.

"This script is great, dark humor, comedy."

Xing Aina looked at the script and said.

Ning Hao looked at Lin Nan and sighed in his heart. He was still struggling. The junior fellow opposite him at school already had a masterpiece, which was a high-grossing one.

"I heard that you just finished filming a movie?"

"Yes, it just wrapped up a little over a week ago."

"You are much better than me." Ning Hao laughed at himself.

"After this movie, Senior Brother Ning will not be like this now. Investors will take the initiative to find you."

Lin Nan said it very firmly, but Ning Hao didn't believe it.

"It was also at this table that Director Li Yang and I decided to invest in "The Blind Shaft" and were determined that he would win the award."

"oh?"

Ning Hao and his girlfriend were a little moved.

"I've written the actor recommendations at the back of the script. Senior brother can take a look."

Xing Aina turned to the last page, and the biggest talent was Guo Tao, but he didn't have a box office movie, so it shouldn't be expensive.

"What about the production cost?" Ning Hao asked.

"Eight million, I don't care about the rest. Senior brother can make full decisions about the filming of the crew."

"Really?" Ning Hao asked excitedly.

"Yes, try to retain and use these people. I think it is very suitable. As for the time, it will not take long to shoot the film. Don't put it in this year. It should be released next year at the earliest."

Mainly because the second half of this year is too busy.

Ning Hao and Xing Aina discussed it for a while and agreed on the spot, "You can go to my company to sign the contract tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The money will arrive within a week, and I won't care about the rest. By then, those who will be released, China Film, Shanghai Film, and Ray Can."

Lin Nan wants to round up the investment.

After discussing the cooperation, the three of them had a happy dinner and agreed to sign the contract the day after tomorrow. They had to arrange their own company affairs tomorrow.

This so-called company is just like Lin Nan's original studio. It's still in its infancy stage, like a bad monkey.

The signing of the contract went smoothly. Ning Hao has already started to schedule the actors, and filming is scheduled to start early next year. Lin Nan first transferred half of the funds, and the film project application was also submitted.

A few days later, Lin Nan met the future actor Huang Bo at school, who was in the same grade as him. He didn't recognize him at first glance and thought it was some parent who came to him.

"Hello, Director Lin, I am Huang Bo from the dubbing class, level 02 senior vocational..."

It seemed that Ning Hao acted very quickly and was already making an appointment. "You're welcome. I've seen your movie "Get in the Car and Let's Go" and I think you're quite suitable for this role." Lin Nan started to grin.

I didn't recognize the person at first, so I couldn't figure out whether he was suitable or not.

I really don’t blame Lin Nan. There is a ten-year age difference between the two. In this film school where there are many handsome men and beautiful women, the contrast is even stronger.

Lin Nan, who is worthy of being called the actor with high emotional intelligence, was a little embarrassed at first, but after just a few words, the conversation started.

"Did you sign it?"

"It has been signed and will start filming early next year."

Huang Bo took a vocational dubbing class to save the country, just to enter this circle and become an actor.

Nowadays, when a director makes an appointment to play, it is inevitable to cherish it, especially after hearing that the producer is Lin Nan, I have an additional idea. This is how connections are made.

Lin Nan suggested not to talk about it outside to avoid trouble. Bao Shihong and Brother Dao were both from next door, so the teacher would have to complain if he knew about it.

The school is about to hold a movie viewing party. Director Zhang Yimou is going back to his alma mater to promote "House of Flying Daggers". Lin Nan has also received an invitation and is in the first few rows. It is a great honor.

The troublesome thing is the school. As a famous alumnus, Zhang Yimou, the actresses he praises are all from next door. Think about promoting in the film school, and the leading actor during the interview is from next door. The school leaders may not look good.

Cannes in May has nothing to do with the mainland. There is only a Camera d'Or award, given to domestic directors whose films cannot be released in the mainland.

The screening of "House of Flying Daggers" was held as scheduled at the academy. Director Zhang really made it a big production, and the cast spanned three places.

Zhang Ziyi's face is indeed born for the big screen. This year can be said to be the year of Zhang Ziyi, and last year was the year of Zhao Yanzi.

"House of Flying Daggers" has been confirmed and will be released in North America again after "Hero". Together with "Purple Butterfly" directed by Lou Ye, she has three movies released there this year, and the international chapter is not far away.

The sophomore year is almost over. For film school students, it is natural for them to work on the crew after their sophomore year. The school next door has just begun to relax.

From last year to now, director Feng Xiaogang holds the pure mainland movie box office record.

"Mobile Phone" has a box office of 53 million, which is the official data. "Hero" is too beastly, has too much foreign investment, and is released globally, so it is not included in the comparison.

The promotion of "House of Flying Daggers" has just finished, and the promotion of "A World Without Thieves" has just begun. I heard that Zhou Xingchi is ready to give a speech in college for "Kung Fu".

This year is very special. The mainland market is about to see its own commercial film with a box office of over 100 million yuan.

Lin Nan lay dead in the dormitory, and his dream of a villa had to be postponed again. In addition to the four million left for Ning Hao, the company's account only had money for daily expenses.

"Forget it, I won't buy it, the dormitory is pretty good."

"Visiting class?"

Lin Nan was hesitant. There were too many things going on at school recently. He was busy making up lessons and fell behind too much.

Liu Yifei invited her classmates to visit the class, mainly because a few of them had fun. Fairy Sword was about to be finished, Zhang Beard's marketing was booming, and fake news was flying all over the newspapers and websites.

"The Condor" hasn't even started yet, but its popularity has already reached the sky.

The mother and godfather of classmate Xiao Liu may have used his money power, but now he has been pre-decided. However, there are still wild rumors outside, but the male lead has not yet been decided.

Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan are two popular niche players, and Li Yapeng is also a popular candidate.

Tieba is now a gathering place for young people, and fans have already taken it upon themselves to build momentum for their favorite actors.

"Alright alright."

Lin Nan received an invitation from Cai Yinong.

Lin Nan didn't know whether to be happy or sad because they couldn't reach the top international directors, so second-rate talents like him became the first choice.

One "Nuan Nuan Inner Light" cannot fully prove its value. It depends on the box office of the second one. It depends on whether it can become a domestic first-line commercial film director.

Mainly because of classmate Xiao Liu, otherwise Lin Nan didn't want to visit the class, he didn't want to have too much contact with Cai Yinong, and others were clearly utilitarian.

However, Mr. Cai really wanted to sign Liu Yifei, but Liu's mother was unwilling. Hua Yi took the initiative to contact him several times, but Liu's mother still did not agree.

She only wants the benefits and is not willing to give up her daughter's "ownership rights."

Lin Nan hoped that the little something in his stomach would help him pass the exam.

After staying in school for ten days, I was about to leave to visit the class. I was accompanied by a few acquaintances from the acting department, and they were going to join the group there.

Nowadays, there are many brokerage companies and film companies here in the capital. Huayi is a big mountain in both aspects.

If you need a director, you need a director, and if you need an actor, you need an actor. Not long ago, he even recruited Lin Nan, but he politely declined.

Why did you go there, to serve as a backdrop for Director Feng?

However, Mango's "Super Girl" has started, and recently Lin Nan also saw the promotional slogan: Sing if you want to!

The first and most successful large-scale interactive star-making event in China is about to begin.

When we arrived in Hengdian, Fairy Sword was really about to be finished. Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er's children had been born a long time ago, and they were about to teach others what love is.

This time, he was fully prepared, and there were actually reporters. Lin Nan could already think of one of the entertainment headlines in the next few days.

"Director Lin Nan visited the cast of "Sword" after finishing filming "Return to Youth."

If this news were released after "Return to Youth" is released, it would mean that Lin Nan is still working for Cai Yinong.

Mother Liu was also at the dinner table. Seeing Lin Nan talking and laughing with her daughter, Tangren's boss, and actors, especially the latter's attitude, she was a little confused. Could such a kid really become popular? I only made one movie!
