That year Huayu

The news of Lin Nan's appearance in Hollywood cannot be concealed at all.

There are already photos that have been sent back to China.

Warner headquarters.

It is still the place where Lin Nan visited "Batman: The Dark Knight" last time.

Nolan is like a king here, ruling over hundreds of special effects engineers.

"Lin, come and see the results."

Nolan took Lin Nan and watched the special effects clips that had been prepared.

In the three-minute scene, Liu Yifei walked in front and Leonardo followed behind.

The city in the distance slowly stood up, folded, covered the sky, and then fell down.

There is a road under your feet, and the sky above your head is also a road. The city and the city form a mirror image.

People and cars are still moving. Once you step on the wall, the next moment it becomes the ground of the subjective world.

"How about it?"

"Perfect, great."

"Haha, this movie will definitely stay in film history and become a classic."

Nolan said confidently and clenched his fist, looking very excited.

The special effects were very shocking, but Lin Nan's attention was on Warner's people and equipment, which made him very envious.

"I came here this time because I have a movie to film." Lin Nan said.

Nolan came to his senses, "What movie? Is it a science fiction movie?"

"No, it's a realistic movie."

"Oh, I remembered. You are the Silver Bear director in Berlin. This is your strength. How can I help?"

"I need actors who are good and cheap, haha".

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Nolan rolled his eyes.

"I'm not familiar with the ones you mentioned. There are no cheap actors in commercial films.

You can ask in the independent film industry, or go directly to Leonardo. Forget it, he is too expensive.

But many of his friends are good actors and their pay is not too high. "

Nolan could tell that Lin Nan was joking, but still gave him advice.

"Thank you, I will pick it up slowly in the next two days."

What is the situation in Hollywood now? Everyone knows that many actors are going out of business. There are too many to choose from.

After specifically asking about the price of the complete set of special effects production systems currently used by Warner, Lin Nan felt that it would be better for him to take his time.

——

"New Moon" began its promotion.

Last year's "Twilight", although its box office potential was only one week, mobilized a large number of fans, especially female fans.

This year’s publicity strategy focuses on the fan base.

"Tom, give me some snacks from Xuanfa over at Lions Gate, and don't think about your stocks anymore."

"Can you please don't mention the stocks? I'm going to get them out of my mind right away..."

Tom looked constipated.

"Okay, let's send out another movie audition notice. My movie needs a male protagonist. He should be around forty years old. It can be a little higher or lower. It's best to be married."

Tom cheered up instantly, "I'll do it right away."

There are so many pheasant film festivals abroad.

Lin Nan had only been here two days when he received an invitation to a film festival called: China-American Film Festival.

He also checked it out and found that it was actually organized by an American company. This year's opening film was "The Bid" from Hong Kong Island.

Isn't this just for gilding some bad movies?

That afternoon, Lin Nan received a call from Ryan Reynolds.

"Director Lin Nan, this is Ruian."

"Ryan, I haven't congratulated you yet, happy wedding."

This guy just held his wedding to Scarlett in September.

"Thanks.

Director, I would like to ask if there is a role in your movie that is suitable for me?

You should know about my acting skills. "

This problem gives Lin Nan a headache. Ryan Reynolds' acting skills are really good, and they are vividly demonstrated in "Buried Alive".

But his age is not very suitable, he is just in his early thirties, and the male protagonist Lin Nan needs is around forty.

"Sorry, Ryan, I need an actor who is around forty years old, that's more natural."

Ryan Reynolds on the other end of the phone was visibly disappointed.

"That's such a shame. Thank you, Director Lin Nan. I hope I can work with you again if I have the opportunity."

"Will do."

Ever since Tom sent out the movie audition notice for Lin Nan, there has been a steady stream of actors coming to inquire.

The influence of a Silver Bear director cannot be underestimated.

Even Wen Ziren was teasing Lin Nan.

"Hollywood has cut its production by more than half this year. The movies directed by you, Silver Bear, are definitely worthy of success."

"But so far, I still haven't found a suitable one."

Lin Nan was starting to leave an escape route. If he really couldn't find a suitable one, he would let Ryan Reynolds take the role. At worst, he would have to wear makeup.

In fact, Leonardo is also suitable, but he is indeed too expensive.

The budget for this movie was not very high to begin with, and Lin Nan was not very willing to ask for DiCaprio, whether it was the salary or the transfer of investment shares.

Some people really can't think about it, just think about it.

"Hello, Leon?"

"Lin, I heard that you are looking for an actor?"

"Yes."

"Is it like a script like "Inception"?"

"No. It's a realistic drama, but it certainly can't afford to hire you."

Lin Nan suddenly remembered what Nolan said.

"Do you have any candidates you can recommend to me?"

"Around 40 years old? Preferably married?"

"That's right."

"Well...you go find Matt or Matthew."

"You mean Matt Damon and Matthew McConaughey?"

"Yes, that's them. They are around 40 years old, married and have children."

Lin Nan chatted with Leonardo for a while, and the latter was currently on vacation in Miami Beach.

This year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be held there in two days. It's really fun.

The next day, Lin Nan met Matt Damon.

They were considered acquaintances, and they had chatted at cocktail parties and award ceremonies.

This guy is two years older than Leonard, but he also faces the same problem, that is, he is not recognized by the old guys in the academy.

But for Lin Nan, this was just right. The character portrayed in the script must be better-looking if he could be liked by little girls.

“Forties, divorced, with children, caring and patient, these are the characteristics of the protagonist.

Matt, let me think about it and get back to you in two days. "Lin Nan said to Matt Damon.

"Thank you, Director Lin Nan.

That bastard Leon told me I had a chance to be in Inception, right? Ha ha……"

This question was difficult to answer, so Lin Nan could only laugh along.

Not long after seeing off Matt Damon, Matthew McConaughey arrived.

Lin Nan even doubted whether the two had made an appointment in advance.

The audition was also very good, but Lin Nan always felt that Matt Damon was more sunny.

The story of a kind and sunny male protagonist being destroyed better embodies the theme of the movie, doesn't it?

Domestically.

At the beginning, a large number of movies took the initiative to avoid "The Martian" in October and scheduled it for November.

As a result, there was another situation in November, with an average of two or three movies being released every day.

And it is completely different from the boom in the movie market in October. Audiences seem to have suddenly lost their passion for going to movie theaters, and the market has become much colder.

Some media forwarded Lin Nan’s casting request in Hollywood.

"Have you started auditioning yet?"

"Yes, many Hollywood actors have auditioned, and the results should be available soon."

There are many people in the industry paying attention to Lin Nan's movie, and the media began to follow up and report on it.

Tom has withdrawn the invitation to audition.

Lin Nan finally chose Matt Damon and gave him the script.

“Oh, it’s a good thing that Leon guy isn’t in Hollywood, haha.

Lin, can I invite him to visit the class? I can already think of his expression, haha..."

"Of course you can, but it must be kept secret before filming starts. Moreover, you must integrate it into the script in advance. The shooting period I plan will not be too long." Lin Nan reminded.

Matt Damon nodded, "I'll start after I get back today. I won't go out again before filming."

A good script is hard to come by anywhere.

In Matt Damon's eyes, this script is great.

Gossip, lies, suspicion, hatred, and cold humanity...

It is very likely to help him achieve another breakthrough.

Lin Nan sat alone in the office, thinking about the movie. The biggest expense in the budget is probably Matt Damon's salary.

Although his salary is far less than that of Leonardo, it is not low either.

"The shape must be well designed so that the contrast effect can be stronger."

…………

As November has just entered, several Lunar New Year movies have begun large-scale promotions.

The promotional style of Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are the One" has not changed at all. It claims that it is not difficult to achieve a box office of 300 million, and it is expected to achieve a box office of 400 million.

"Mei Lanfang" is said to have been registered for the Berlin International Film Festival. After watching it, Han Sanping and others rated it highly in the media.

"A film master pays tribute to the opera master."

"Director Chen Kaige will be the strongest contender for the Golden Bear Award next year."

Lin Nan saw the promotional poster for "Ip Man" on the Internet.

I don’t know who came up with it. On the huge poster, the most prominent position was reserved for the screenwriter.

Screenwriter: Lin Nan.

Not to mention, the effect is really good.

Many netizens said that they can go and see it then.

Yang Shoucheng called specifically to tell him about this.

"The Martian" has just been released, and its influence has not diminished. The entire cast of "Ip Man" is not even as good as Lin Nan.

Yang Shoucheng even joked that when Lin Nan's own movies are released in the future, he can add the sentence: Lin Nan's work.

Hollywood Film Consulting reported the audition results of Lin Nan's new movie.

Matt Damon was chosen as the leading actor by the young Silver Bear director. I heard that it was recommended by his good friend Leonardo.

“Matt is still very strong, and you will know after this cooperation.

However, it’s a pity that you didn’t come to Miami Beach. I’ll tell you when I return to Hollywood in the next two days…”

Leonardo's love for supermodels is always strong.

Lin Nan was preparing the crew while reading the email sent by Yue Jun.

The broadcast rights of "Latent" have been sold. The price is slightly worse than that of "Leader", but it is still within the acceptable range.

Tom has come back from the guild. Now he is broke and he wishes the company would launch more movie projects.

“All the supporting actors, extras, crew, everything is done.

Lin, you can turn it on anytime. "
