That year Huayu

"Does he really dare to play? You can't waste money like this if you have money!"

"I admit that Lin Nan was an immediate success as a director for the first time.

But he doesn’t think that it’s just a human being, right? "

…

The most intense discussions are among various film and television companies.

It was almost one-sided, not optimistic about Lin Nan's behavior.

After the news spread, the most enthusiastic ones were the directing students from three art schools.

The biggest problem faced by every newcomer who wants to make a movie is the financing of the first movie.

And Guo Fan, who signed a contract with Lin Nan Pictures, is the envy of everyone.

"Is what they say true?"

Returning to Han Sanping of China Film Academy, he asked his secretary.

"It's true. Director Lin gave the newcomer 10 million to make a science fiction film, soft science fiction."

Han Sanping nodded. In China, ten million dollars is enough to shoot soft science fiction.

In particular, Lin Nan now has Tiangong's color scheme, which can effectively reduce costs.

"Director Han, do we want to ask?"

"No, didn't you see? He didn't want to make money, he was just training newbies.

He is the only one who can do this, so he will be jealous, right? "

"Haha, you are right. Many old people in the industry say that it is better to invest in them."

"Everyone just wants to eat shit and use it to make artistic films?

If it were me, I would rather lose a few movies and raise a commercial film director..."

——

Lin Nan got the news that Zhouyi's "Bao Sangu Gaiden" was sold at a loss.

Three TV series, two independently produced and one jointly produced.

The reason for joint production is that there is no money. As a result, the price cannot be sold and the money is lost.

"This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for them."

"Then do I want to test it again?"

Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun and nodded.

“Either sell the whole thing to us, invest or buy shares, I won’t consider it.

But I estimate that the probability of her agreeing is no more than 30%. Just ask her and think of it as putting psychological pressure on her..."

After saying this, Lin Nan felt a little cruel.

On the other side, Huayi held a grand launch conference for "Tongtian Empire".

In addition to the presence of actors such as Andy Lau, Liu Jialing, and Li Bingbing, a series of designed products such as makeup photos, weapons, and armor were also displayed.

The Xuke team may have wanted to show off, but it had the opposite effect. Many people complained about it afterwards.

Especially makeup, distribution, and armor.

Although the Japanese learned the culture of the Tang Dynasty, the things after processing by the Xuke team were obviously more biased towards the island country.

In the end, I could only explain that it was a movie after all, so some "processing" must be done, but the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty could still be vaguely seen!

The word "vaguely" is used very well.

"This is not a simple historical theme, it can also lean towards magic and fantasy."

Xu Ke set the tone for the film and emphasized that this was a subject that could be made into a series. …

Since "Painted Skin", Lin Nan and Wu Ershan have not had much contact.

The latter continued to work in his old profession, advertising films.

Coming to Lin Nan today made the latter a little confused.

"Director Lin, thank you also for letting me join the crew of "Painted Skin" for training.

Star Gravity has agreed to make my first commercial film. "

Wu Ershan seemed very happy, and it seemed that he really came to express his gratitude.

"Congratulations then. What movie is it?"

"An avant-garde martial arts comedy."

When Lin Nan heard the word "avant-garde", he knew it was over.

What is an avant-garde film? It is an abstract film that does not care about the storyline and only focuses on the visual effects.

This kind of movie has basically no box office potential.

"Then I wish you success." Lin Nan said.

Wu Ershan was hesitant and finally said:

"Director Lin, actually I have something to do today.

When I was on the set, you said that if "Painted Skin" did well at the box office, a sequel would be made..."

If Wu Ershan didn't mention this, Lin Nan would really forget it.

He had promised the other party that if he made a sequel, he would also look for Wu Ershan.

"Now that I think about it, a sequel is going to happen, but it might be a bit uncertain this year." Lin Nan said with a smile.

Wu Ershan looked surprised.

"Director Lin, I hope you can give me a chance. During this time..."

…

More than two hours later, Wu Ershan left.

Lin Nan was alone in the office and felt a little moved by this man's courage.

He actually came to recommend himself.

I also made my own color and composition analysis of fantasy-themed movies, which is very detailed and has its own characteristics.

But Lin Nan did not agree and only said that he would consider it.

I don’t know what prompted Wu Ershan to make such a rash request.

"It won't all be affected by my investment in new people making movies, right?"

Lin Nan smiled and shook his head. There were still too few people in the industry willing to train new directors.

His investment in Guo Fan may have misled many people, thinking that he would be easy to talk to, but he had to be one of his own.

"But it reminds me that "Painted Skin 2" really needs to be put on the schedule. The series should not be separated for too long."

…………

"The Wolverine", "Star Trek" and "Fast 4" are three consecutive Hollywood blockbusters that have landed in the domestic market.

Let many domestic movies feel the depressing atmosphere again.

Judging from online data, it is these three films that are dividing 90% of the mainland's film market.

The remaining dozen domestic films will share the remaining 10%.

When Han Sanping went to the film bureau meeting, he took out Lin Nan's graduation thesis and talked about this issue.

Different situations and different people think differently.

A group of big guys actually held several meetings on the topic of "film industrialization".

Because in our own market, we are always being ripped off by outsiders, which is not a problem.

However, the final conclusion made a group of people very pessimistic.

The existing film industry is not yet perfect, and the infrastructure is not widespread. Only when these things are completed in the past two years can we consider the issue of film industrialization.

"Your paper is very good. When doing industrial planning later, the bureau will learn from it. Bureau Tong asked me to tell you."

After Han Sanping came back, he met Lin Nan.

"That's okay, it's for the sake of the industry."

"You are quite willing. The script is good, it would be a pity to give it to a newcomer." Han Sanping smacked his lips and complained.

Lin Nan's eyes widened and he looked at Han Sanping with question marks in his eyes.

"Haha, I took a look at it when I was going to a meeting."

This is totally cheating!

"Director Han, you are operating illegally."

""Source Code", a good title, very science fiction, but unfortunately it is a soft science fiction."

Han Sanping ignored Lin Nan's words and kept talking to himself.

"Let me remind you, because of "The Martian", the bureau will take special care of your science fiction film.

You are also the screenwriter of "Source Code". It should have been reviewed by now..."

This news is a bit scary. It has been less than a week since I handed in my full package.

——

Han Sanping did not lie to Lin Nan.

On the official website of the Film Bureau, "Source Code" is among the new batch of reviewed scripts.

The media is rushing to cover it.

""Source Code", a science fiction film (soft science fiction), screenwriter: Lin Nan!"

Screenwriter: Lin Nan!

These four words are very powerful.

The industry has never thought that Lin Nan would personally provide a script to a newcomer.

This was a gamble on reputation. If the bet failed, it would only affect Lin Nan's reputation.

In the end, everyone guessed wrong, he really did it!

"If it were Director Lin's script, it would really be possible. At least there would be no compensation..."

Regardless of whether the director is a newcomer or not, at least Lin Nan's script is trustworthy, and the story or creativity will never disappoint.

There are suddenly more interested agencies and actors.

Even Wang Changtian had a toothache. He should have asked clearly at the beginning, but he was careless.

"A qualified director must not only be able to direct a play, but also be able to select actors."

This is what Lin Nan told Guo Fan.

There should be many people who want to audition for "Source Code". He will not interfere in the casting, leaving it all to Guo Fan.

…

Ning Hao is back with the crew of "No Man's Land".

It spanned the Gobi Desert in several provinces and lasted two months.

When Lin Nan arrived at Bad Monkey, he didn't recognize him at first glance. His skin was dark and rough.

"Those who don't know think you have been on the run for a few months."

"It's no different from running away. Director Ning almost killed me." Huang Bo said with some fear.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"I lost eighteen kilograms, Xu Zheng lost twenty-three kilograms, and Ning Hao lost eight kilograms.

The worst thing is Yu Nan, look at this, a nice girl, but now she is dark, thin, and has a small heart, haha..."

Huang Bo was not doing anything right, and Yu Nan next to him just grinned and said nothing.

Xing Ai hasn't seen Ning Hao in the past two months, and now he is being considerate.

All the food and drink were served up.

Not long after sitting there, Lin Nan and Huang Bo wanted to leave.

Xing Aina's eyes were filled with anger, and she probably wanted to pull Ning Hao back home quickly.

"Hey, don't leave yet, I have something to discuss with you."

Ning Hao pulled Lin Nan and said.

"Then let's go first." Huang Bo and others smiled and left.

"What's up?"

"I want to leave it to you to do the post-production and try out those baby bumps of yours, hehe."

"Director Ning, you don't look very good, but you think quite beautifully." Lin Nan joked.

"Just say it's okay."

"Okay, that's enough. Let me go quickly, that sister has been staring at me for a long time."

Xing Aina was a little embarrassed and smiled, "What are you talking about? Come back another day. I will take him back to see my son."

Lin Nan forcefully broke away from Ning Hao's hand and ran away.

"Let's go, Director Ning."

"Can you please let me go? I've been exposed to the wind and sun these past two months, so I need to slow down for a while..."

"Haha, what do you think?"

——

Tom called.

“Except for the movie for Crystal, it was exclusively produced by us.

In addition, I have already negotiated with Paul that Lionsgate Pictures will co-produce it with Crystal Pictures. "

"Yes, for the one with higher cost, you really need to find someone to share the risk. Lions Gate is a good choice."

Lin Nan said with certainty.
