That year Huayu

After many years, Zhang Yimou auditioned actors again.

In the eyes of ordinary art students, this is simply a good opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

No one will forget how Zhang Ziyi became famous back then.

She is an inconspicuous ordinary acting student in the 96th grade of Chinese Opera.

Even in the eyes of head teacher Chang Li, Zhang Ziyi can only be regarded as having average qualifications.

But luck is really important sometimes!

Zhang Yimou chose her, so there is today's international chapter.

In the past two days, several art schools in the capital have been extremely busy.

The registration time for this year's art exam has not come yet, but many art candidates have arrived from all over the country in advance.

School students and art candidates all flock to Nortel and China Theater.

Because Zhang Yimou will personally go to these two colleges to select some amateurs as candidates for the male and female protagonists of "Hawthorn Tree Love".

Although it is only the first round of primaries, no one is willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

China National Theater and Nortel provided all conveniences for Zhang Yimou.

This is how great directors are treated.

…

"Hey, I wonder when I will get such preferential treatment as Director Zhang?"

Lu Yang sighed sourly.

He sat far away from Lin Nan and Guo Fan, so that they would not interfere with each other during editing.

"Then I guess I'll have to wait for the next life." Guo Fan joked.

"Aren't you?"

Lu Yang retorted with a smile and subconsciously looked at Lin Nan.

"Director Lin is absolutely fine.

If you were to start a new movie and audition like this, the treatment from China Film and Television and Nortel would definitely be no worse than that of Director Zhang.

Guo Fan and I might be given a classroom at most, haha..."

Lin Nan was also amused.

"Even if there is no chance. I can't learn Director Zhang's tricks. I prefer to use mature actors to save worry."

It is said that Zhang Yimou is very good at training new actors, but it takes too much energy.

Lin Nan has only experienced it once, and that was Jing Tian in "The Martian".

He still remembers that sour feeling.

Thinking about the scene at that time, Lin Nan couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

…………

The box office of "Avatar" exceeded 1.4 billion.

In addition to theaters, all industry production companies want it to be released immediately.

Lin Nan heard from Han Sanping that a notice had been issued from above to let "Avatar" be screened in China.

Under such circumstances, the day before it was released, the box office revenue was more than 20 million, reaching 1.428 billion, which is simply terrifying.

The wolves were driven out, and the sheep began to come out to graze.

"Confucius" starring Zhou Runfa and Zhou Xun was the first to be released.

The box office on the first day was 9 million.

This made many people in the industry heave a sigh of relief. This number is normal!

The next day, the Hollywood movie "The Agent Next Door" starring Jackie Chan was released, with 5.1 million on the first day.

This makes the subsequent domestic films more reassuring and gives me the feeling that I can do it again!

Domestic movies, which had been dead for more than 20 days, suddenly became "vibrant".

All kinds of promotions are popping up, especially for films that will be released in February.

Kung fu blockbusters "Su Qier" and "Jinyiwei", romance blockbusters "Love in the City", nostalgic comedy "Happy Events in the Flower Fields 2010", action blockbusters "Little Soldiers"...

I don’t know if the producers of these movies are embarrassed or not, but the Internet is full of boos.

After seeing blockbusters, the slogans of these domestic movies always give the audience a feeling of being watered down and very fake.

…

Among the four movies produced by Lin Nan Pictures, "The Journey" has the simplest plot and the lowest cost.

From preparation to now, more than 4 months have passed.

"Director Lin, I'm done."

When Xu Zheng called Lin Nan to tell him the news, the latter was stunned for a moment.

After all the planning, it only took about twenty days to shoot, and now it’s finished?

But Lin Nan immediately thought of the plot of the movie, and he didn't say anything.

Twenty days, no problem indeed

"Then come back, I'll have someone prepare a wedding banquet for you."

Many media are paying attention to several movies of Lin Nan Pictures.

As soon as it was announced that the production of "Unfortunate Journey" had been completed, there was news on the Internet.

"Actor Xu Zheng's directorial debut, "The Man on the Road," is wrapping up today."

"Lin Nan Pictures, the low-budget film "On the Road" has completed filming, and Wang Baoqiang will play a migrant worker again!"

"This is a comedy about all kinds of ridiculous things on the way home during the Spring Festival..."

…

At the closing banquet, Wang Baoqiang toasted several times with liquor, all of which were white wine. This must have been cultivated in Huayi.

"Director Lin, I respect you, you can do whatever you want."

Lin Nan smiled and took a sip of red wine.

He suddenly remembered that Liu Yifei had reminded him not to drink when socializing alone. She looked quite fierce at that time.

"Director Lin, I also want to toast you. And Director Guo and Director Lu."

Xu Quan picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. From the looks of it, he is a decisive person.

The next day, Xu Zheng got the color of Tiangong.

Everyone who comes here for the first time will be shocked by the scene in front of them.

What you see is a large number of machines and equipment, and dozens or hundreds of technical personnel.

Xu Zheng saw many cards with movie names written on them, standing in different areas.

These are all projects received by Tiangong Color, and they are not big.

An employee took Xu Zheng to the area dedicated to late-stage film editing, where Lin Nan and others were present.

"Director Lin."

"Here you go. Sit across from Lu Yang. It should be enough with two editors, right?"

"Enough, I can do it myself." Xu Zheng said with a smile.

In the afternoon of that day, the later stage of "People on the Road" also began.

Lin Nan has already begun to think about the schedule issue and how to best arrange the four movies.

He felt that he had to find Han Sanping.

…

Xing Aina called and wanted to invite Lin Nan and Liu Yifei to dinner at home.

This was quite sudden.

Lin Nan thought there must be something going on, so he didn't refuse.

It just so happens that Miss Liu has just had some free time these two days.

When Lin Nan returned to the villa, Liu Yifei was already waiting.

When I was in Hengdian, I wore a down jacket, jeans and short boots. This combination was really casual.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The girl opened the car door and got in the passenger seat. There was also a gift box in his hand.

"what?"

"Sister Xing likes desserts."

Lin Nan shook his head, he was really familiar with it.

As he drove all the way to Ning Hao's house, he was a little curious. If he called himself and Liu Yifei over today, it wasn't really just for a meal, right?

When he arrived at Ning Hao's villa, he saw him walking in the yard with his fat son in his arms. The big gold chain around his neck shone brightly in the sun.

"You guys are a bit slow, my wife is cooking the food herself." Ning Hao complained.

Lin Nan wanted to reply, but after hearing this, he fell silent.

Liu Yifei looked at the little guy in Ning Hao's arms, her eyes gleaming.

She touched the child's face with her finger and said, "Call Auntie..."

The little guy stared at Liu Yifei with his dark eyes and just smiled but didn't speak.

"Like children? Ask Lin Nan for one, haha..."

Ning Hao's words immediately made Liu Yifei blush.

"Come on, come in with me. I'm waiting for you two here."

…

Xing Aina is a great person. She prepared a large table full of dishes all by herself.

Lin Nan's guess was correct. It was true that the invitation to dinner was true, and it was also true that something happened.

"I asked you to help me read the script of "No Man's Land" before, but I didn't listen to you at the time, and it ended up like this..."

When Ning Hao came up, he was even more emotional.

"After dinner, let's help him read the new script." Xing Aina said with a smile.

"Sister, this meal is not cheap." Lin Nan joked.

Liu Yifei was already eating on the side, looking like she was watching the fun.

No business was discussed at the dinner table. More than half an hour later, Lin Nan followed Ning Hao to the study.

Liu Yifei and Xing Aina were chatting in the living room.

"Director Ning, what's the script this time?"

As soon as Lin Nan finished asking, Ning Hao handed over the things.

A thinner screenplay than No Man's Land.

Lin Nan raised his head and glanced at Ning Hao, who now looked a little serious and helpless.

"Take a look and give me some advice."

When he said this, he could tell that Ning Hao was a little unsure. "No Man's Land" had a huge impact on him.

Lin Nan started to look through the script, and it felt inexplicably familiar.

It is another movie with a single-line narrative, exactly the same as "No Man's Land", but the style is black humor like "Stone" and "Racing".

The story is not long and has many details.

Lin Nan could tell that this script was a little more restrained, and it was very similar to the thinking of "No Man's Land", but it wanted to express the opposite.

The difference between this script and "No Man's Land" lies in the ending. The two movies seem to be talking about opposites, and this one is closer to the "correct" one.

"Why don't you have a name?" Lin Nan asked,

"It's just not marked. The name of this script is "The Golden Mystery", or it can be called "The Golden Heist"..."

Lin Nan's eyes widened for a moment. Well, he was just confused.

"It should be no problem. After all, the male protagonist has grown from a gangster to a glorious 'revolutionary.' Don't you just like this? Haha..."

Ning Ha's face looked a little gloomy.

“You mean I surrendered to them?

Well, I gave in, those old immortals. "

“Haha, this is what you admitted yourself, it’s none of my business.

However, this script is really good. I suggest you polish it a little more. It's a bit rough. "

Ning Hao nodded, "Well, this is only the third draft. The general plot will not change, but the lines will be refined. I will make a budget then, and you can contribute a little..."

"Okay, then invest a little." Lin Nan agreed.

When the two of them left the study, they saw Xing Aina and Liu Yifei on the sofa, playing with their children. Children under one year old are quite cute.

"How about it?"

Xing Aina saw the two people coming out and asked hurriedly.

"No problem, I pulled him on board, haha." Ning Hao said with a smile.

"It's no problem, I will be the producer of this movie."

Xing Aina looked a little excited. She just talked about this matter with Liu Yifei.

"She just saw that Yifei became the producer of "Xiu Chun Knife" and felt that she, as a senior, was still lagging behind and had some shame in her face..."
