That year Huayu

Chapter 708 Welcome Director Lin Nan back to Berlin! Fixed angle...

In less than two hours, the news of Matt Damon’s high-profile attendance at the celebration banquet of “Butterfly Lovers” was on Weibo’s hot searches and entertainment headlines.

You know, in the past, it was rare for Hollywood's first-line actors or stars to attend celebration banquets for Chinese-language films.

There was a heated discussion in the circle and on the Internet, and everyone was lamenting Lin Nan's strong connections. No one else could hire Matt Damon except him.

"After noon today, "Heart Blossom Road" has almost finished its chapter. I'm just waiting to get the box office split next month, and it will be completely over!

Don't tell me, I can't help but get excited when I think about that number. After working hard for so many years, this is the first time I see so much money, tsk tsk tsk..."

Ning Hao held the wine glass and clinked it with Lin Nan, feeling quite emotional. But he couldn't hide the joy on his face. After all, he had made nearly 300 million!

Lin Nan understood his feelings. This was a one-time profit from one movie, which was different from the wealth that Ning Hao had accumulated over a long period of time.

"Looking at you like this, why are you so eager to get your share of the box office? Are you short of money recently?" Lin Nan asked curiously.

Sure enough, Ning Hao had a helpless smile on his face and nodded.

"Most of my previous wealth was used to invest in happiness, and I still have a company to support, what do you think? Now I'm just waiting for the box office account to be replenished.

Although I plan to take a break from making movies for a few years, I still have to take on commercials, music videos and the like. My salary for directing these films is very high now, but it’s still not as high as what I’m being quoted from outside..."

As he talked, Ning Hao brought up other topics, a bit to show off.

Lin Nan smiled and didn't answer. He had heard about the offers for him to direct commercial short films, music videos, etc., and it was almost catching up with the film director's salary set for him in the industry, which was very high.

But he has no such idea or interest at all. He can't open his mouth in this regard, otherwise he will be annoyed to death.

"Director Ning, I have worked with Director Lin twice. I wonder when I can work with Director Ning again? In fact, I am also very good at comedy."

Just when Lin Nan was complaining about Ning Hao, Liu Dehua came over.

He still looks like a breath of fresh air, just like when he told Lin Nan for the first time that if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, he must act with him. Although he is a bit expensive, he can bring money into the group. And it seems that he has been doing this all these years and has helped many crews!

"Haha, Brother Hua, you're welcome. If there is a chance, we will definitely cooperate." Ning Hao responded quickly.

Lin Nan spoke at the right time, leaving room for the two of them to communicate: "Brother Hua, while you chat, I'll go to Yifei's side first. See you later."

Why do people say that Huang Xiaoming is the mainland version of Andy Lau? The answer is here, network! The two of them were present at the same time today, and they were indeed busy socializing at the moment.

"Director Lin, see you later."

On an occasion like today, artists of the same rank will only be surrounded by people of the same level.

Several big flowers showed this point very straightforwardly, teaching perfectly on the spot.

The same thing happened next to Liu Yifei. Although she didn't care about it, everyone surrounding her was also a thread.

Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing and others are very good at talking. They kept saying "Your Director Lin", which made Ms. Liu's smile never break.

…

outside world.

The press release for Tang Dynasty's "Tornado Eleven", which was officially completed in the morning, has already drowned out the negative news about Liu Shishi's film hitting the streets.

The scandal between Hu Ge and Wang Xiaochen hasn't ended yet, but it has started again. It has successfully attracted the firepower of netizens and once again "saved" the first sister of the same company!

At the same time, China Film, Chairman's Office.

The old god Zhang Yimou was sitting there, beside him were Zhang Zhao, the vice presidents of Legend and Universal, and La Peikang, who was in charge.

Several people held a piece of information in their hands. This was the final casting list for "The Great Wall" and the detailed identity information of each actor.

"Tomorrow is the 1st, just tomorrow. As for the press conference, it will be on the 5th."

La Peikang made the final decision and made the decision.

"One week after the press conference, all actors must leave for Hollywood for at least three months of training."

The people from Legendary Pictures said it without emotion. Everyone nodded and had no opinion.

"Director Zhang, I'll thank you for the hard work this time."

"You're welcome, Mr. La, I am the director and this is my responsibility."

Zhang Yimou nodded expressionlessly, showing no emotion. This was his first time shooting a 3D movie, so it was quite stressful.

And to be honest, he was not very satisfied with many of the people on the cast list, especially the few who came in, who were said to be young kids with a huge fan market.

But when he thought of the high salary for "The Great Wall", he had nothing to say.

…

Near evening, Lin Nan received a call from Yue Jun. The latter had already set off and was on his way to the Jiaxing cocktail party.

This matter has already spread within a small area within the circle. That is: Yang Mi’s company is holding a reception, looking for investment, and even financing!

"They are quite capable! Are they going to go public now?" Liu Yifei said in surprise.

"Yeah. To put it bluntly, when it comes to career ambition, she really crushes all of you actresses and female artists born in 1985. But she is a bit biased."

Lin Nan said casually. Miss Liu nodded. Anyway, she thought she was quite lazy and not so ambitious.

October has just passed.

On a new day, Berlin gave Lin Nan a "surprise" and also gave the Chinese film industry a "surprise"!

"The 65th Berlin International Film Festival officially opened registration channels yesterday. Eye-catching words appeared on the official website: Welcome Director Lin Nan back to Berlin!"

"The movie "Manchester by the Sea" has been confirmed and will have its world premiere as the opening film of this Berlin International Film Festival, and has been officially registered to participate in the awards competition for this year's film festival!"

…

In the morning, the news came back from Berlin, which caught the mainland film and television circles off guard, and the Internet was even more excited.

"What's going on? Didn't you say we were going to the Golden Globes and Oscars? Why did the Berlin International Film Festival pop up again?"

"He is planning to take a movie to win the Golden Globe, Oscar and Berlin? No wonder there is no scheduled release date!"

"This, this ambition is too big, right? Or maybe it's because you don't have confidence, so you cast a wide net?"

"It's amazing. I watched it before the Spring Festival this year. Golden Globe, Oscar, Berlin, there are so many possibilities, it's hard to predict what the final result will be."

…

The reaction in the circle was also very fast, with many words of flattery, compliments and wishes for success being posted on Weibo.

Lin Nan's mobile phone was also not idle. Short messages, messages, and voices were sent all at once.

"Is this your third time competing in Berlin? The first two times were the Silver Bear Awards for Best Director, so this time... the nomination is certain. Hiss, what a beast!"

"It's rare to see Director Jiang's tone like this. Are you feeling stressed? I've said he is a beast a long time ago, haha..."

"It's happened again and again, but not again. This time I don't want the silver one, but bring back the gold one. Next time you film a literary or realistic movie, remember to call me, otherwise I will harass your Jia Yifei, sister!"

"Thighs, thighs..."

…

Lin Nan wilted and went to the company, while Liu Yifei continued to sleep in. Her beautiful and delicate face without makeup was so rosy that she could squeeze water out of it. The same was true for her bare shoulders, which were white and delicate.

When the elevator reached the first floor of Tiangong Color, Lin Nan went in to take a look.

Lu Yang has finished the work. At this moment, Wu Ershan has moved in from the lower floor and is working on the "Searching for the Dragon".

Without disturbing him too much, Lin Nan returned to the office, and Yue Jun came right after.

"Director Lin, haven't you had a good rest?"

"Well, insomnia. When did the drinking party end yesterday?"

Lin Nan calmly changed the topic.

"It officially starts at eight o'clock and ends around 11 o'clock in the evening."

Having said this, Yue Jun paused, obviously thinking of something.

"Yesterday, there was no big capital in the Internet or financial industry, but there were small and medium-sized ones, and there was also a lot of capital in the film and television industry, tsk tsk..."

Seeing Yue Jun getting emotional, Lin Nan suddenly became interested.

"Let me hear how they introduced Jiaxing's prospects?"

Speaking of business, Yue Jun instantly cheered up:

"To be honest, Jiaxing's performance is very good, better than many production companies in the industry. But there is one biggest problem, which is also a fatal drawback."

"Yang Mi?" Lin Nan said with a smile.

"Yes, 70% to 80% of a company's profits and almost all the business are handled by one artist. This is very unhealthy! Although she is working hard to bring in new people."

Lin Nan nodded and said nothing. He knows this. After all, she is the first of the four young beauties and a "model worker"!

"This kind of company is not a good choice for investment unless."

Yue Jun's voice stopped suddenly, and he thought of Yang Mi dressed sexyly, accompanied by a new couple to drink with him, and shook his head.

"Our company is strong and we don't need female artists to have one drink after another at the bar and sacrifice their appearance."

Hearing this, Lin Nan knew what happened at yesterday's reception. Isn't that what most people in the entertainment industry are like?

Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi and other big flowers, which one of them didn't come here like this? Yang Mi chose the same path as them!

"Okay, now that it's clear, go and reply to her. We have no intention."

"good."

…………

If the news came back from Berlin in the morning, it caused heated discussions in the film and television circles for a while.

So just before noon, the announcement released by China Film Group, Legend, Universal, and LeTV completely caused the film and television industry to explode.

Because the casting list for "The Great Wall" has been announced.

"Co-produced by Legendary Pictures, Universal Pictures, China Film and LeTV, with an investment of US$150 million, and a Sino-US co-production, the 3D magical blockbuster "The Great Wall" has officially been cast!"

"The main creative lineup of "The Great Wall" is as follows:

Director: Zhang Yimou; Screenwriter: Tony Gilroy; Producer Team: Thomas Tull...

Male lead: Matt Damon; female lead: Jing Tian;

Main actors: Willem Dafoe, Pedro Pascal, Andy Lau, Zhang Hanyu;

Supporting roles: Lu Han, Peng Yuyan, Lin Gengxin...Wang Junkai..."

A Sino-US co-production blockbuster that has attracted much attention from the Chinese film industry, this is the official lineup of the main creative team.

But this result caused an uproar in the entire film and television industry.

Just because of the choice of the female lead!

Looking at the country, there are so many actresses, but in the end this huge cake fell on Jing Tian?

Even big names like Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, and Fan Bingbing were brushed aside and lost to Jing Tian?

There are many more actresses in the industry who feel aggrieved and aggrieved, but no one dares to speak out.

Because everyone is not stupid, it is absolutely impossible for the female lead to get a big cake like "The Great Wall" without anyone behind her, it doesn't matter!
