That year Huayu

Stars shine brightly and the "Warring States" project is revealed to the outside world.

Costume historical war blockbuster!

As soon as the news came out, it attracted the attention of a large number of filmmakers.

Although the domestic film market is booming, projects with an investment of 150 million are really rare.

Usually, only a few big directors can receive and successfully handle films with this kind of investment scale.

The media rushed to report, and people in the industry were inquiring about the crew, director, casting, production team...

"It's such a brilliant and generous act, and it's actually produced exclusively!"

"Another strong production company..."

Lu Zheng's invitation to Lin Nan to be the director was also reported.

"The salary is 20 million, plus a share of the box office. This is what Director Lin is worth."

"Director Lin Nan does not accept external roles and has already rejected the "Warring States" project..."

"The cast of the movie "Warring States" will be announced soon!"

…

There is a lot of news out there, all kinds of things.

Lin Nan could see that this was all to build momentum for "Warring States".

Lu Zheng was determined to do something big this time to pave the way for Jing Tian.

"After I came out from your place, you also looked for me. To be honest, I almost lost control."

Ning Hao's tone was filled with sadness.

"What's the price?" Lin Nan asked jokingly.

On the other end of the phone, Ning Hao paused and said angrily, "Are you polite?"

"Haha, just pretend I didn't ask."

Lin Nan estimated that Lu Zheng's offer to Ning Hao was only about seven or eight million at most.

"If I didn't have "Heist" to prepare, I would really want to give it a try. This kind of opportunity to direct a blockbuster is not easy to come by."

Over there, Ning Hao was still regretting that he was in love. Lin Nan really wanted to say, "Just have some fun, money is not that easy to get!"

After several days of fermentation, "Warring States" has become the major project that attracts the most attention in the industry at the beginning of the new year.

Starlight took advantage of this momentum and announced its luxurious cast with great fanfare.

"Sun Honglei, Jing Tian, ​​Wu Zhenyu, Jin Xishan, Jiang Wu, Nakai Kiichi..."

"The movie "Warring States" will officially start shooting in early March!"

""Warring States" will be based on historical allusions and present grand epic scenes..."

Lin Nan felt that this preparation time and start-up time were a little rushed.

…………

"Director Lin, the art exam has begun..."

This year's art exam was delayed until the end of February, and Yue Jun was ready to leave.

"Well, go ahead."

According to the previous plan, the selection of newcomers this time is quite special.

Actors are different from celebrities. The former is difficult to determine, but the latter is much easier.

The essence of a brokerage company is not to train qualified actors, but to make money and earn commissions.

When it comes to making money, it is obviously easier for celebrities.

The news that Shanhai Media began to look for new people came out from the art examination site.

This made many candidates' minds become active instantly.

China Film Corporation has announced its latest film schedule.

"Ip Man 2" is confirmed to be released on April 29, targeting the May Day release.

However, the most talked-about one is the literary romance film "The Full Moon," starring Zhang Xueyou and Tang Wei.

Tang Wei, who was banned for two years for "Lust, Caution", returns to the big screen again.

The mainland film and television circles are all enjoying watching the excitement.

Tang Wei settled in Hong Kong Island through the Talent Plan, and the film was released in the mainland as an imported film. The "blocking order" of radio and television was completely reduced to a piece of paper, and the ban was lifted by default...

Lin Nan suddenly remembered that when he was filming "The Thief" three months ago, Tian Yu even sent him a wedding invitation, and finally he asked someone to bring the gift money.

"It's nature that plays tricks on people..."

…

Good news also came from Xue Xiaolu's side, "Thirty-three Days of Love" has completed post-production.

Lin Nan sent someone to Nortel and got the finished product back.

"Is this done again?"

Lu Yang was a little depressed. He originally thought that "Embroidered Spring Knife" would be the second one to be completed.

Just at Tiangong Color, a group of people played "Thirty-three Days of Love" again.

Zhu Yawen's portrayal of the male protagonist with "unclear orientation" is very good.

"This movie is not bad. As expected, art must come from life, Bao Jingjing's script is also wonderful, and Director Xue's filming is delicate enough..."

Several people think that this movie is considered a masterpiece, and it is of a rare style.

February is coming to an end, and it’s time for the movies that were released at the beginning of the month to be released.

"Su Qier", which Lin Nan and others unanimously complained about, was indeed extremely drained.

The cost was 130 million, but the final box office was only 48 million.

Director Yuan Heping has been ridiculed a lot.

Many netizens suggested that he should continue to be a martial arts instructor. Not every martial arts instructor has the ability to transform.

The box office of "Love in the City" really exceeded 100 million.

At the same time, Huang Xiaoming's scandal became more and more true, but he just refused to admit it, even if there were photos...

"Do you feel that Jackie Chan's movies are a bit sluggish?"

Lin Nan took a look at the data of "Big Soldiers and Young Generals" and found that it was indeed not very good.

He alone has a salary of tens of millions. If the box office is only more than 100 million, Bona, as an investor, may be in doubt.

The market is getting bigger and there are more choices, but Jackie Chan’s movies are still the same old routines...

On the same day that "Thirty-Days of Love" was sent to the film bureau, "On the Road" received a public screening permit.

Ray began preparing a promotional plan for the film.

The only special effects in "Thieves" were successfully completed, and Lin Nan began to work hard to speed up the finishing work.

In the middle of the process, Yinghuang also sent an invitation to launch "New Shaolin Temple", but Lin Nan also rejected it.

Finally, on the last day of February, "The Thief" and "Xiu Chun Dao" completed post-production at the same time and were submitted for review as soon as possible.

"I can finally have a good rest. Director Lin, I am not going to take any jobs during the period before the promotion."

"Um."

Lin Nan nodded and agreed to Lu Yang's arrangement, then looked at Guo Ban.

"Where's you?"

"I'm going back to school to catch up on professional courses such as directing and photography."

Lin Nan was not surprised that Guo Fan could say this. His character was like this.

If these two people are willing to take on the role, there should be many projects coming to them during this period.

But one wants to rest and the other wants to study. They both have clear ideas and plans, which are different from those outside who make quick money.

"Let's break up then. I originally expected you to do more business and generate income for the company, haha..."

Lin Nan shook his head and joked.

"Lin Nan Pictures' four films have all been completed."

"Looking forward to the release of "Thieves". This is director Lin's latest commercial blockbuster since "The Martian"."

…

Entering March.

Zhang Yimou led the crew of "Hawthorn Tree" to start filming in a low-key manner.

"The Orphan of Zhao" was produced with great fanfare, for fear that everyone would not know that Director Chen was about to start production.

"Future Cop" and "Koshikatsu Precious Box" are both movies that will be released in March, and their promotion efforts are already full.

But something went wrong with "Ip Man 2" again.

In view of the good results of the first part, Yang Shoucheng decided to advance the promotion to March.

Everyone on the crew was fine, except Donnie Yen.

The promotional activities that were originally agreed upon were abandoned several times by the latter, all because he accepted the announcement at short notice.

Although I had a good attitude afterwards and apologized and made excuses, this behavior still didn't stop, which was very bad.

"If I weren't afraid that something bad would happen before the movie was released, I would have already taught him a lesson..."

Lin Nan could tell that Yang Shoucheng was trying his best to restrain himself from swearing.

Recalling the "humble" attitude of Zhenzi when he single-eyedly asked for this role, and comparing it now, his ambitious character is fully exposed...

"When the movie is released, Director Yang can do whatever he wants."

Lin Nan said without any emotion, this kind of person really needs to be beaten.

…

Since the establishment of Shanhai Media, artists from the industry have come over from time to time to inquire about news.

Lin Nan took some time today to look at the list.

how to say? If you are doing well, you will not consider changing jobs easily. This list is full of third-tier players with little potential.

"It's useless. Training these people is worse than raising new people."

Lin Nan stopped by to pay attention to the news about the art exam.

There are several child stars with familiar faces this year, including Zhang Yishan, Yang Zi...

That Zhou Dongyu voluntarily gave up this year's college entrance examination in order to film "Hawthorn Tree", so he must have given up on the art test.

But this choice is definitely the right one. There are art exams every year, but not every time I have the opportunity to act in Zhang Yimou's movie.

In other words, to put it bluntly, being the heroine of Zhang Yimou's movie almost means that she will be "recommended" in next year's art exam.

Lin Nan felt that if he found an amateur, he should be treated like this.

…

A long time ago, Lin Nan suggested that Zhu Yawen open a studio.

It's been several years, and it's only now settled.

As classmates and friends, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went together to support the show.

"I have to call you Boss Zhu from now on."

Liu Yifei joked as soon as they met.

"I don't dare, you still need to talk to Director Lin and give me two more bites of food in the future, haha..."

"Then you'd better be hungry." Liu Yifei joked.

"Still hanging here with Wang Jinghua?"

Zhu Yawen nodded, "It's hanging here."

Lin Nan understood what the other party meant. Friends were friends and did not want to get involved in the relationship of interests.

Think about Wang Jinghua's company, which is now declining. How can it still have the momentum it had back then?

The big-name artists she has either left or only took on a movie in a year or two, and her voice has long been lost in the industry.

There will be more and more studios for first-line artists, and pure management companies will not be able to survive in the future...

…………

"Thank you for the company's care over the years. I wish the company will get better and better in the future..."

On the day when her contract expired, Yang Mi went back to Rong Xinda. She understood the principle of getting together and relaxing easily.

"I also wish you go further.,

Having said that, everyone outside is laughing at Rong Xinda, and those who leave will develop well, just like Zhou Xun and others..."

Li Xiaowan looked at Yang Mi and laughed at herself, saying that she was the one who signed Yang Mi back in the first place.

The latter didn't know how to answer this sentence, but it seemed to be the case.

"Mr. Li, the company will get better and better."

Li Xiaowan looked directly at Yang Mi, "Can you tell me where the next one is?"

Yang Mi hesitated and didn't hide it.

"I signed with Shanhai Media."

Li Xiaowan woke up from a dream and was a little lost. "No wonder you didn't renew the contract. It is indeed a good place..."

…

Another breaking news came out in the entertainment industry.

Yang Mi, one of the four famous actresses, signed a contract with Shanhai Media, becoming the first artist to sign a contract with the company since its establishment.

"If you go up high, you will see that although it is a newly established agency, behind it is Lin Nan Pictures..."

"Yang Mi chose the right company this time!"

…

Cai Yinong felt very uncomfortable when he looked at the Weibo posts posted by Shanhai Media and Yang Mi at the same time.

Ever since the game endorsement incident, she had broken up with Yang Mi.

Now that I saw that the other party signed with Lin Nan's agency, I was even more angry.

She has been in contact with Yang Mi and even tried to poach her, so she understands her.

In Cai Yinong's eyes, Yang Mi is a person who will never let go once she seizes an opportunity.

Now that the latter has gone to Shanhai Media, there will most likely be no shortage of resources in the future. Thinking about Liu Shishi in his company again, Cai Yinong had another headache...

Zhang Yi has been busy filming the promotional video for "Let the Bullets Fly" these two days.

I finally had a rest today and was called back to the company again.

"Director Lin, why did you ask me to come back?"

Lin Nan had previously thought about transferring Zhang Yi's contract to the agency after establishing the agency.

But after all, Zhang Yi was the first artist he signed, so Lin Nan felt it was necessary to respect the other person's opinion.

"Now that the brokerage company has been established, do you want to transfer your contract to facilitate their unified scheduling in the future?"

Zhang Yi shook his head when he heard this.

"Director Lin, I am your first soldier, a veteran with a ten-year contract.

I’d better stay with Lin Nan Pictures, I’m used to it, haha..."

Lin Nan was very curious about how Zhang Yi did it, with a smile that was both loyal and a little slippery!

"Really don't want to?"

"As you said, isn't it good now..."

Zhang Yi refused to go to Shanhai Media and looked like he would die at Lin Nan Pictures.

One is direct and the other is a subsidiary. He can distinguish between good and bad. There are two directors here.

Lin Nan couldn't see Zhang Yi's thoughts. He looked sincere, but he was actually a good person.

"Okay, you are the first and the last one. That contract was really cruel..."

Lin Nan complained, and finally left Zhang Yi's contractual relationship with Lin Nan Pictures.

…

Tom is very efficient, and the schedule for "Super Body" has been set.

"I talked with Lions Gate, and Paul suggested choosing July 1st..."

Lin Nan had no objection to the time, as it happened to be the summer season.

He had a plan before, and when the time came, he would use some favors and ask Leonardo and Matt Damon to help promote and stand up. He believed that these two people would give him this face.

"Then July 1st, this matter is very important." Lin Nan emphasized again.

"I understand, what happened to Crystal! I will definitely keep an eye on it..."

…

After ending the call with Tom, Lin Nan took out the script for "Painted Skin 2".

The first part was filmed in the first half of 2007, almost three years ago.

Counting the time, I have to shoot the sequel this year. It would not be good to delay it for too long.

Lin Nan thought of Wu Ershan. This guy had recommended himself once before, which was really "bold".

To be honest, for "Painted Skin 2", Lin Nan didn't really want to do it himself. It no longer had the same freshness as when filming the first film.

"Let's talk about it later."

Although he was hesitant for a while, Lin Nan still asked someone to send the script of "Painted Skin 2" for review and file it first.

Starry is very efficient.

"Warring States" held a large-scale launch conference in the capital.

There were many media reporters, film and television stars, and filmmakers present.

Lin Nan was also among the invited guests.

But he didn't go, he just sent a text message.

Because if you go there, you will inevitably be asked by the media about the director's invitation, and it is easy to overshadow the guest.

The most important thing is that he really can't watch the movie "Warring States" directly.

…

On the other side, the movie "Koshiko Treasure Box" was released.

A large number of audiences were once again brought into the theater by "emotion".

It is impossible to judge whether this movie is good or bad. There are many criticisms and many praises.

But it is undeniable that its box office is indeed growing. It exceeded 60 million in 4 days, and it is almost no problem to exceed 100 million.

Guo Fan quietly found a problem for Lin Nan.

"When we first collaborated on "Source Code", he left my phone number. Director Yue was not here, so he had to ask me to ask. If Director Lin thought it was inappropriate, would I reject it?"

After thinking for a while, Lin Nan replied: "Let him come to the company by himself."

"Okay, then I'll let him come to see you by himself."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan felt speechless. They all behaved this way.

Yang Mi was filming "Xiu Chun Dao" and asked through Yue Jun; Lei Jiayin was filming "Source Code" and asked Guo Fan to inquire.

"You won't go through formal channels, right? I want to see who is next?"

The next morning, Lin Nan met Lei Jiayin at the company.

Not to mention, this guy is a bit similar to Zhang Yi in some aspects. He looks honest, but he may also be thoughtful.

"Director Lin."

Seeing Lin Nan, Lei Jiayin quickly stood up and said hello.

Thinking about the first time I met Lei Jiayin, it was when Hu Ge took Lin Nan around the theater.

"Don't tell me, your contract also just expired recently?"

"Director Lin was joking. I was due to expire a year ago and took a break. Don't you want to join the company? Haha..."

By the way, that honest smile on his face is very similar to Zhang Yi’s, but it’s actually a disguise and very deceptive!

Lin Nan looked at Lei Jiayin and shook his head.

The other party's smile disappeared instantly, as if he was mourning for his heir.

"Lin, Director Lin, do you think I can do it? If you give me an accurate answer, I will give up..."

Lin Nan knew that the other party would have misunderstood.

"I'm not saying you can't do it. What I mean by shaking my head is that you can only follow the path of an actor, but you can't become a star..."

"Why?" Lei Jiayin asked subconsciously.

Lin Nan almost laughed. Don't you have an idea of ​​what you look like? "Celebrities can make a living just by looking at their faces..."

Now Lei Jiayin understood instantly, "Then I will definitely have to rely on my acting skills to make a living..."

Before he finished speaking, Lei Jiayin's eyes widened suddenly and her voice trembled slightly, "You mean, you can sign me?"

"Can."

Lin Nan nodded, this is worth signing.

"Hahaha, then, when can I sign it?"

"So urgent?"

"No, I have nothing to do anyway. I'll settle down early."

Come on, he is indeed a Northeastern man, quick and agile.

Lin Nan asked someone to send in the Shanhai Media contract.

"Watch carefully, don't tell me to trick you when the time comes."

"That won't happen, that won't happen."

He said he didn't know, but his eyes were fixed on the contract, reading every line without missing a beat.

"Director Lin, I heard that Zhang Yi..."

"Don't hear about it, this is the only thing." Lin Nan was speechless to the extreme.

…

Lei Jiayin chose a five-year contract and signed the contract with a smile.

Lin Nan even thought that this guy could be paired with Zhang Yi. He looked like an honest person, but in fact he was as thoughtful as anyone else.

Something unexpected happened. There is only one chapter today, and there are still many words missing. I will make up for it later.
