That year Huayu

The conference center is very large, right next to the Olympic Organizing Committee.

Headed by Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and Li An, well-known directors from three major universities, including Tian Zhuangzhuang, Lin Nan, and Feng Xiaogang, as well as several major studios or private companies, also came, as well as several directors from Hong Kong Island and abroad. of.

At a glance, we can see that they are all winners of awards and achievements at home and abroad.

Director Chen, who is eager to try, is currently in a stable position; Zhang Yimou may still be thinking about the defeat in Athens; Li An is obviously already thinking about it.

Looking at other people, they all have fiery eyes and full of energy.

Opening Ceremony Director, what a tempting job, there are a few people who can remain unmoved.

People live for fame and fortune, but being the director of the opening ceremony can bring both fame and fortune! As for failure? Who would think about the consequences? Who is not proud?

Only Lin Nan understands that only a few people here come here for responsibility and honor.

He is not that good at pretending to kill people. He should be able to do it as a support player, but he will definitely not be able to do it as a main force.

The leaders mobilized above, "This is an opportunity to showcase our 5,000-year-old culture to the world. It is a major event for the country and the nation, and a grand ceremony that attracts worldwide attention. I hope you will actively participate and contribute ideas..."

Today's meeting is mainly about announcing the competition for the chief director of the opening ceremony, what candidates need to prepare, and the time period for the competition.

This matter has not been kept secret from the public, and the media has begun to report it. The illustration is a photo of a group of directors leaving the conference center.

"The competition for the chief director of the Olympic opening ceremony, hundreds of great directors gathered at the Olympic Organizing Committee."

Lin Nan was honored to be on camera. Among a group of middle-aged and elderly people, a young man seemed a little out of place and stood out.

No matter what others did, Lin Nan was determined not to get involved in the bidding process.

He is self-aware. For such a big battle, no one is more suitable than Zhang Yimou. He is talented, energetic, experienced, and pragmatic!

Thinking about the process, Lin Nan was shocked. This was prepared for Lao Zhang.

After figuring this out, Lin Nan forgot about bidding. Returned to school and began a rare comfortable life.

Looking through the news in the industry, Zhang Ziyi is really having a smooth sailing. In the past two years, several films have been released in North America, and last month he became an Oscar judge again.

This year has just begun, but she has already firmly become an internationally famous movie star, and her international chapter is worthy of her name.

Among Zhang Yimou's popular actresses, the most successful ones are Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, and Lin Nan admires Gong Li even more.

It is said that Zhang Ziyi followed Gong Li's template, but in the end he couldn't compare.

Zhu Yawen is back. It seems that she has learned a lot from Wang Jinghua and is already a qualified niche student.

"I recently signed a drama, and I'm about to join the cast after a break."

Zhu Yawen drank water and said: "Recently, whether it is signings for dramas, endorsements or magazines, I have bypassed Hua Yi..."

Lin Nan heard what this meant, and Wang Jinghua had already begun to cut interests.

"What roles have you taken?" Lin Nan asked.

"They are all TV series, and there are still few movie resources. Sister Hua really can't compare with Hua Yi in this regard, but I am quite satisfied. With your two movies as the foundation, I am doing well now." Zhu Yawen looked satisfied. look like.

"As long as you do well, if there is a suitable role, I will consider you."

Lin Nan said something.

"I remember, my brother's success depends on you."

Zhu Yawen jumped up again in an instant. Lin Nan knew this guy's temper and couldn't stay calm for a few minutes.

"Speaking of which, you are a big deal now. Other artists under Sister Hua have asked me about you a lot, especially about your plans for new dramas."

Zhu Yawen said that Lin Nan knew that after returning from Berlin, he would face this kind of thing almost every two or three days. There were many people who contacted him, including the school, Guangming, China Film, Shanghai Film, and the actors he had worked with. Everyone is asking for contact information.

Lin Nan always excused himself by saying that he had no plans for the time being. When "Return to Youth" exceeded 100 million, it was a little inferior to this.

"It feels painful and happy at the same time." Lin Nan smiled.

"Look at your face, you are showing off." Zhu Yawen was also very sour, "You are the most successful among the 02 level, a great director, with both box office and awards."

"Haha, it seems to be true..."

Lin Nan smiled wildly, as only good friends can do.

"Actually, Sister Hua also hinted to me that I can ask you for resources." Zhu Yawen said straightforwardly.

Lin Nan was mentally prepared for this. Wang Jinghua was an ace agent and would not let go of any opportunity. Especially after knowing that Zhu Yawen had a strong relationship with him, it was only a matter of time before she opened her mouth.

"Well, don't worry. I will take care of you, brother." Lin Nan joked.

Zhu Yawen opened her mouth and said something about the quintessence of Chinese culture. The two of them have long been accustomed to this way of getting along.

…

"Sword" has already started its second round of broadcasting, and its popularity is unimaginable, only second to "Supergirl".

Mango Channel has learned from the experience of the first edition, and this year’s launch promotion is even better than last year’s.

Some serious students in the school also participated in the competition, but more teachers and students still looked down upon this kind of talent show.

Director Tian Zhuangzhuang united with several colleagues to prepare for cooperation and competition. This is also a way of competition.

Lin Nan made it clear that he would not participate in the competition for the chief director position. After some persuasion from the superiors, the matter was settled.

After all, he is too young, unlike Zhang Yimou. I heard that the organizing committee is trying its best to persuade Zhang Yimou not to take his previous failure too seriously.

Zhang Yimou is not willing to admit defeat and has promised to actively prepare for competitive bidding.

"Return to Youth" was released in South Korea last month. It chose the split-account model when exporting. Data from China Film showed that the number of moviegoers was close to two million. It was very popular among young people and the box office performance was very good.

Exporting can make money, which is good news. Coupled with Lin Nan's Berlin harvest last month, Yang Ma gave an 8-second report in the text message.

Lin Nan has become another business card in the directing department.

Tom contacted Lin Nan again. The other party still wanted the copyright of a certain script. This time his attitude was much better and he wanted to discuss it head-on with Lin Nan.

"America?"

It's time for Lin Nan to go there. Tom helped him register a lot of scripts and bought a lot of novel copyrights. He also wanted to go and check it out. He just took advantage of this opportunity.

He told Tom a time and asked him to tell the other party that Lin Nan would arrive early by then.

The promotion of "Stone" has already begun. Since there is still a month and a half to go, the level of promotion is not very high and is limited to posters.

Lin Nan's name is also on the poster. The producer, producer, screenwriter, and everyone in the industry already know that Lin Nan fully invested in this movie.

Considering that Lin Nan's last wholly-owned film "Into the Dust" sold the copyright for more than 8 million US dollars, and this one is a commercial film, everyone is very optimistic about its box office.

As soon as the promotion started, it attracted enough eyeballs.

The cost was 8 million, which was revealed. It was a gimmick for a small sum.

"Into the Dust", which cost 3 million, has already made more than 20 times its profit. It has not yet been released in China, and jealous people are already everywhere.

How much money can be made from "The Stone" that cost 8 million is obviously worth looking forward to.

After the last meeting with Ye Ning, we haven't contacted each other again until the promotion of "Stone" started.

Ye Ning made a phone call to connect with her, saying that she would take care of "The Stone" during the film schedule and hoped to have the opportunity to work together as soon as possible. Lin Nan happily agreed.

It's only March, but the competition in this year's film market has already begun, and several blockbusters have already revealed their release dates, all in the second half of the year.

This is also the reason why Lin Nan placed "Stone" on May Day. Due to the limited subject matter of "Into the Dust", it will be released on July 1st at the latest.

Ning Hao sincerely regards "Stone" as his turnaround, and is even more eager to promote it than Lin Nan.

As long as there is an opportunity for Guangguang's publicity, portal interviews, and talk shows on various TV stations, Ning Hao will urge Lin Nan and see which creators have time to work together.

In just one week, Lin Nan recorded nine interviews non-stop. Each time, he had to explain in a different way how difficult it was to create the script, the crew's dedication, and his recognition of director Ning Hao's skills.

"These days, I've said all the words I can think of. If the box office doesn't do well by then, it will become a joke."

Lin Nan joked, and it was just a joke. He didn't think "Stone" would hit the streets, he was just teasing Ning Hao.

Huang Bo has appeared on several programs recently, and he cherishes these opportunities.

Ning Hao smiled and said nothing. He directed the entire movie and was very optimistic about "Stone". He boasted about the script more than once in the studio.

Huang Bo hummed a tune and was in a good mood. He had made a lot of announcements recently.

"I also forgot, Lao Huang, you are a singer by profession, isn't this a good hum?"

Lin Nan suddenly remembered that Huang Bo was still the resident singer. When it came to singing, Lin Nan was tone deaf and couldn't do anything.

"That is, one day I will invite you to sing K, so that you can experience my skills."

"OK."

Of course, Lin Nan's company will pay for the publicity and distribution costs of "Stone". He will not agree to share the box office proportion. "Into the Dust" has a special theme, so it is exempted.

After separating from Ning Hao and Huang Bo, Lin Nan returned to the company alone.

Looking at the pile of letters delivered by the company's front desk, I had no choice but to throw them away. I could only pick them up and read them one by one.

There are invitations to movie premieres, letters of recommendation, academic exchanges, symposiums...

For the more formal ones, I also made phone calls while sending letters. Those who recommended themselves could not contact Lin Nan and could only send them to the company.

Looking at the back, there was an invitation for exchanges in the film and television industry, which attracted Lin Nan's attention.

The film and television symposium invitation from the Shanghai Theater School is still a while away.

Lin Nan has never had any interaction with him, except for meeting Hu Ge on the set of "Sword and Fairy".

Of the three major colleges, one focuses on film and the other focuses on drama. The two drama schools in the south and the north both produce drama actors.

It’s hard to refuse an invitation from an official school. If you drop by to attend an exchange meeting, it shouldn't affect your flight to the United States.

Thinking of this, Lin Nan took out the phone and dialed a number.

Busy tone interrupted, "Who is this?"

It's actually a woman? Lin Nan was surprised.

"I'm looking for Hu Ge."

"I am his assistant, who are you?"

"I'm Lin Nan, is he busy?"

The person on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, then a little unsure, "Lin Nan...director?"

"it's me."

I humbly ask for votes, recommendation votes, monthly votes, collections and investments. Book friends who have lucky money can give me some rewards, I will be grateful.

Some book friends’ comments are a bit violent. In order to create a harmonious atmosphere and not be harmed by the system (this is the key point), I plan to set a threshold for speaking later. It’s a helpless move, sorry.

Thanks to the book friends: Ninja Who Got Emotion for a reward of 500 coins, and Nanshan Wangyou for a reward of 100 coins. Thank you to book friends: Hai Hun Qiu, 137 While You’re Young, Old Streets and Alleys, and 161013163605111 for your monthly ticket support.
