That year Huayu

Chapter 399 Alone...

Heavenly colors.

Lin Nan checked the production progress of the special effects of "Passengers".

"Director Lin, according to the work plan, the special effects of this movie can be completely completed before the end of February."

"Well, that's good. By the way, where is Ray's "Four Famous Catchers"?"

"It was delivered to them half a month ago."

…

Lin Nan had just arranged the editing work for "Genius Gunslinger" when an employee came over to tell him that Xu Zheng had arrived.

It's been two years since I last filmed "The Journey".

A few days ago, Xu Zheng received a call from Yue Jun, and since then he has been unable to calm down his excited mood and state.

"People on the Road" made his transformation successful. What about the sequel? He hopes to go further!

"Director Lin."

Seeing Lin Nan come in, Xu Zheng immediately stood up.

"sit."

Lin Nan pointed to the sofa and walked straight behind the desk. He took out the script he had prepared in advance from the drawer.

"When "Unfortunately" was released, you said that you were developing a sequel, and you hoped that the company would give you a chance."

"Yes, thank you, Director Lin." Xu Zheng nodded solemnly.

"Since it's all "囧", I definitely hope that the style will remain the same, continue to be maintained, and even achieve better results."

Lin Nan smiled and handed the script to Xu Zheng, who took it with both hands.

""People on an embarrassing road in Thailand"?!"

"囧TU, this kind of script is most suitable for changing the map. The story can be new, but the style remains the same. Haha..."

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Xu Zheng began to read the script, reading it very seriously.

In this industry, if you want to really stand out, you must have strength, followed by opportunities, otherwise it will be useless to give you opportunities.

In Lin Nan's view, Xu Zheng is capable and good at seizing opportunities. In addition, he is ambitious enough.

After more than half an hour, Xu Zheng finished the script.

"Director Lin, are the main actors still the original cast members?" Xu Zheng asked speculatively.

"Yes, Yue Jun has already contacted you. They are your old partners, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo. You can decide on the other actors yourself."

Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the two names spoken by Lin Nan.

The next second, he smiled again, "Director Lin, can you let Yifei make a guest appearance?

Lin Nan's eyes widened instantly and he looked at Xu Zheng, "Good guy, he's quite good at getting things done!"

"Okay!" Lin Nan agreed.

"But there is something else I want to say hello to you in advance, so you should be mentally prepared."

"Director Lin, please speak."

"We have assigned an executive director for you. He is a novice and has never worked in this industry before. You can lead the way."

Xu Zheng frowned, with an unnatural look on his face.

He tried weakly: "Female?"

In Xu Zheng's opinion, as an internationally renowned director and someone with a girlfriend, Lin Nan wouldn't do such a thing blatantly, right?

Looking at Xu Zheng's expression and eyes, Lin Nan knew that he wasn't thinking about something good!

"Director Han's daughter! Director Yanyi from Nortel. He greeted me personally."

Xu Zheng suddenly realized it, and a different look flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Director Lin, I will definitely take care of you."

This is an incredible network! Xu Zheng muttered in his heart.

"By the way, the company has already made a budget, a budget of 30 million, and subsequent publicity expenses will be included separately.

The script was submitted for review a year ago, so you can prepare the storyboards and other things with peace of mind. It will be more efficient after starting the production this time..."

More than an hour later, Xu Zheng left Lin Nan Pictures in high spirits with the script of "囧囧" in hand.

…………

The attention of the industry was attracted to the film academy.

Nortel made a big move and invited all the students of the Class of 1978 who had graduated 30 years ago to go back to school again.

The euphemistic name is to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the graduation of the first batch of students after the resumption of enrollment, and the time is scheduled to be just a few days before the start of school.

And Level 78 is also the most awesome group of "big names" in the domestic entertainment industry.

Among them, the "fifth generation" directors especially attract attention, such as Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Gu Changwei, Li Shaohong, Wu Tse-niu...

The result is that a large number of art exam students stay at the scene in advance in order to gain minimal recognition and opportunities.

Because the news has spread, although this time it is said that the class of 78 is gathering at the school, there are far more people invited back to the school than these people.

There are also a large number of other-level directors and producers who have graduated, and even more young actors who have graduated from Nortel, the mainstays and juniors in the industry.

What's the purpose of this? From the perspective of insiders, it is already obvious.

The school personally organized the bureau and set up the stage, allowing Nortel actors to connect with directors and producers who graduated from their own school, and make connections...

Some media reports are very direct:

"The film academy intentionally forms a small circle and digests it internally. This will seriously undermine the little 'fairness' left in the entertainment industry and form barriers..."

Even China Theater and Shanghai Theater have begun to "condemn" it. After all, Nortel has indeed "monopolized" the resources of directors and producers in the industry.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei both received invitations.

"Are you really not going?" Miss Liu asked suspiciously.

“The teacher said, if you can avoid going through this muddy water, don’t go.

It's all about matchmaking, forming cliques, and putting interests first, and there will be no shortage of nastiness. "

Lin Nan spoke Tian Zhuangzhuang's original words.

This current generation of school leaders is too eager for quick success and quick gains. They really want to build Nortel's own circle, regardless of whether it is good for the industry or not.

"Then you have to find a reason."

"You, the announcement, can't leave; I, the post-editor, am busy."

…………

Lin Nan was called away by Ning Hao and saw Zhong Lifang.

"If you don't speak up, I will almost forget that I invested 10 million in you."

Ning Hao called Lin Nan over to discuss the release date of "The Golden Heist".

"Director Lin, long time no see."

"Mr. Zhong, I heard from Director Han that you voted for Wu Yusen's "The Wheel"?"

Lin Nan asked with interest, after raising so much money, Xiao Ma is very rich now!

Zhong Lifang was obviously very happy when she heard this:

"Director Lin is right. We did vote for "The Taiping Wheel". It is a very good project. It was only decided a few days ago after a lot of fighting."

Lin Nan smiled and said congratulations, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

"Will your movie "Passengers" not be released in the first half of the year?" Ning Hao got straight to the point.

"It's the earliest I can get the summer slot."

"That's good, I'm going to put "The Golden Heist" at the end of April, for the May Day period."

"No problem at all."

Lin Nan agreed. This time is very good. The further back you go, the more blockbusters there will be, especially the imported ones.

It seems that the new Sino-US film import agreement is being negotiated and the result will be soon.

…

While chatting, Zhong Lifang asked about the special effects company.

Lin Nan was frightened when he heard this. Xiaoma's step was a bit too big!

"We are not going to build it ourselves like Director Lin's Tiangongcai. We are going to buy a ready-made one."

"Have you got a goal?"

"We are selecting. There are many companies like Hollywood..."

"Then I wish you immediate success."

…………

How much did the star-studded "Special Identity" attract the media's attention?

Well, maybe it's just like the original "Warring States"!

After all, the combination of Donnie Yen and Zhao Wenzhuo is indeed very topical, especially the latter, who is a real Wuying level.

A large number of actors and entertainers from the film and television industry, including production companies, will come to support the event. After all, the stars are bright and the money is real!

Liu Yifei was putting on makeup, and Lin Nan was on the phone outside.

Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, both of them have already received the script.

"Director Lin, the schedule after "囧囧" is still there."

Wang Baoqiang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Nan could think of his expression. He should be smiling before he opened his mouth. This was a good habit.

"Don't give up this schedule before "囧" is completed. Is that okay?"

"ah?"

Wang Baoqiang was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed with a smile:

"No problem, no problem. Director Lin, I have left Huayi and I can make my own decisions..."

"That's good. If everything goes well, there will be another drama later."

Lin Nan clicked through, chatted for a few words, and hung up the phone.

…………

The launch conference of "Special Identity" was indeed as lively as Lin Nan imagined.

After Lin Nan and Liu Yifei arrived, there was an endless stream of people saying hello.

"Yifei, this way."

"I'm going to Xie Nan's place, you can play by yourself."

Like a prostitute, Miss Liu smiled sweetly at Lin Nan, then waved her hands ruthlessly and walked towards Xie Nan and Liu Yan. Well, there’s a lot to eat.

Lin Nan went straight to Wang Changtian and Han Sanping.

"Director Han, please inform your daughter later that the crew is preparing to start filming in early March, so be prepared this month."

"It's so efficient! No problem."

Wang Changtian was a little confused, "What movie? Why don't I know about it?"

"The distribution of the second part of the "囧" series can be handed over to Raytheon."

When Wang Changtian heard this, he immediately became happy, "Leave the good things to the light, don't worry."

Han Sanping opened his mouth and said, "For "Passengers" and "Genius," give it to China Film."

This is not a question, but an affirmation!

Wang Changtian wanted to refute, but then he endured it and couldn't afford to offend him.

…

The launch conference was quite grand, with Lin Nan standing together with Han Sanping and Wang Changtian.

He suddenly discovered that the action director of the movie Starry Star was actually Donnie Yen!

…

During the cocktail party, Lin Nan found Zhao Wenzhuo. The two held up their wine glasses and chatted for a few words in the corner.

"May to July? I have a schedule, Director Lin."

Zhao Wenzhuo nodded seriously. He didn't want to miss this opportunity. Lin Nan Pictures' movies always had a good reputation, and it had been a long time since he had a movie that he could produce.

"Okay, then this matter is settled. You can come to our company to sign a contract later."

The two people's voices were not loud, and almost no one around them dared to come up and eavesdrop.

"Thank you, Director Lin."

"What movie are you not asking about?"

"No need to ask, I believe that the movies produced by Director Lin's company will be good."

Lin Nan was quite surprised, then smiled and nodded. Sure enough, Zhao Wenzhuo is not completely devoid of emotional intelligence!

After two action films, Lin Nan finally settled on "One Man's Martial Arts".

In this movie, Lin Nan is actually looking forward to Wang Baoqiang more. The latter is really good at playing this kind of sick character.

I watched "Hello!" at the premiere. "Mr. Tree", Lin Nan thought of "One Man's Martial Arts" at that time. After returning, he spent a few days writing the script.

Now, after Lu Yang returns from traveling abroad, he can prepare for this movie.

Lin Nan still remembers the guy's tone on the phone:

"In martial arts, of course, freedom cannot be restricted. Let me play for another month, adjust the condition to the best, and prepare when I come back. It's still early anyway..."

Lin Nan didn't know what to say, so he could only joke, "Don't wander around in the red light district..."
