"Huh?"

Hearing what Lin Bao said, Wu An was stunned for a moment, "Teacher Lin Bao, this ......"

"Interested?"

Lin Bao looked at him.

"Mainly...... Mr. Lin Bao, your project is too important, I am a newcomer......"

Wu An said with some unconfidence.

"When the time comes, the director will definitely be more than just one person. ”

Lin Bao looked at him and continued, "According to our plan, in addition to me, Guo Yunfan, the entire "Ice and Fire" project, there will be at least three directors below to speed up the entire filming progress, and at the same time to control the quality. Because the main filming place is abroad, including actors, they are basically selected from abroad, and we, we need to invite foreign directors. However, I don't want to give all my positions to foreign directors. ”

In fact, this matter has something to do with the content of the previous chat with Xiao Yuanshan.

From the perspective of the elderly, for such a big project, he naturally didn't want Lin Bao to use a foreign team, and tried to use his own team as much as possible.

However, it is obviously impractical to use a domestic team entirely.

Therefore, Lin Bao and Zheng Rong talked about it, and the final decision was that in the final entire project team, especially in the production team, some domestic team members could be placed as much as possible.

After all, for such a project, the leading power is in Lin Bao's own hands, and with such a good opportunity, it is natural that he also needs to give his country's personnel a chance and a chance to learn.

Therefore, Lin Bao and Zheng Rong have talked about it before, as well as the Tang people. From the director, a director's position was finally assigned and domestic directors were arranged.

The Tang people want to install their own director, but the studio naturally doesn't want to let go of such an opportunity.

Lin Bao himself will definitely not be able to continue directing in the future, so he needs to train his own director.

At first, he thought of Yin Chuan.

However, Lin Bao also has a relatively comprehensive understanding of Yinchuan's ability.

The other party's basic skills are solid, but they are more suitable for filming some more civilized scenes, such as such a large-scale international cooperation project, which is still a little worse.

Therefore, Lin Bao thought of Wu An.

He was a graduate student at the University of Southern California, and when he graduated, the whole program would begin.

At the same time, he has experience in contact with Hollywood, and in the University of Southern California, knowledge such as various special effects, production, etc., is also learned solidly, and the most important thing is that his vision, including the director's creativity, can also be affirmed by Lin Bao.

Before, the crew that Xiao Lizi arranged for him, if he hadn't been able to stand up in such a crew if he hadn't had real talent and learning, otherwise, he wouldn't have persevered until the end.

Therefore, based on all the information, Lin Bao felt that Wu An was actually a more suitable candidate.

Moreover, I can rest assured.

The ability is enough, that is, it depends on himself, if he has confidence, he is willing to come over.

"How? I can give you time to think about it. ”

Lin Bao looked at him, "It just so happens that we have to stay here for a few more days, I'll give you a few days to think about it, you think about it......"

"Teacher Lin Bao, no need, I'll shoot!"

Wu An said, "If you can look at me, don't think I'm inexperienced." ”

"Since I told you about this, it shows that I still recognize your strength. ”

Lin Bao said, "If you come over, Aunt Rong should be looking for you to sign a director contract, which can be regarded as the interest of signing a studio." Of course, you also know the situation in my studio, if you have your own ideas, I am sure that the project will not be less than you. That's the case, you can also think again, whether to stay in Hollywood and pursue your movie dreams, or sign with me and take over the "Ice and Fire" project directly. ”

Wu An nodded directly: "Don't think about it, Teacher Lin Bao, I know that this is a very rare opportunity, if I don't grasp it, I will definitely regret it in the future, no matter what the conditions are, I will agree!"

In fact, just like Lin Bao knew, Wu An actually had a movie dream.

Otherwise, he would not have quit his job, and then spent almost all of his family's savings to go abroad to study for a graduate school in a film university.

He also dreams of going to Hollywood, or returning from reading and starting to make his own films.

However, Wu An also knows that each of these two roads is easy. Even, the future is bumpy.

In the past two years, he has seen too many examples of seniors, who were full of ambition before graduation, but after graduation, the reality is too skinny.

And Lin Bao's side, although it is a TV series, such a project will definitely not have less influence than a Hollywood blockbuster.

If it is a normal way, it is very difficult for him to blend into a blockbuster crew in Hollywood, let alone become a director.

Therefore, this choice couldn't be simpler for Wu An.

"Okay, you can figure it out for yourself. After that, Aunt Rong will talk to you about specific contract issues, and you will take a look at it in detail. ”

Lin Bao said, "In addition, because the project is still in the preparatory stage, so don't disclose this matter to others for the time being." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin Bao. ”

Wu An nodded.

After chatting, it happened that in the crew over there, several domestic filmmakers also watched the same, and then walked over together.

As he walked, he kept sighing.

"The gap is huge. ”

"It's a big gap!"

"If there is such an opportunity for domestic students......"

Wu An looked at them, and couldn't help but say: "Several teachers, in fact, the teaching level in several film schools in China is also very high. In the past, when I was in class, some old filmmakers talked about domestic film and film teaching many times. And, in fact, today's project here is actually a special case, and it is impossible for a normal graduation project not to get so much funding. Normal graduation works, all of which are only tens of thousands of dollars and then actors or something, have to find them by themselves, at most make some art films and feature films, and naturally it is impossible to have the opportunity to get started directly on the green screen. ”

Hearing him say this, the expressions of several old filmmakers were slightly relieved.

"Moreover, now, with Mr. Lin Bao here, our oriental country is the real mecca of performance!"

Wu An said with a smile, "Even those Hollywood acting workshops and actors' workshops are spreading Mr. Lin Bao's book, and many film school students also have great respect for Mr. Lin Bao." ”

"If you add this Oscar......"

"Yes, if this time, Mr. Lin Bao can get the best foreign language film, then he will definitely become famous in the West in an instant!"

Wu An nodded.

Several other veteran filmmakers also had anticipation on their faces.

In fact, although Hollywood movies have been popular in the world for so many years, China has been slowly growing up and growing up over the years. The industrial system is not as good as them, and the equipment is not as good as them, but we are not short of storytelling and good directors.

As long as it is really benign development, good training of good directors, and good production of projects, just like "Farewell My Concubine" this time, then domestic movies will not be similar to those in the West.

We have also been to a lot of three major film festivals.

The Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is also a great competition.

If it weren't for the fact that they controlled the title of best film in the West to English films, otherwise, we could also compete for the best film.

A good movie, in fact, is not bad.

With some expectations and longings, the group left the studio here, just in time for Leonardo's activities to begin.

However, because the original event was arranged for students at the University of Southern California, the seats inside were also full.

Lin Bao and his party can only watch from the outside.

"Little Lizi went in?"

A few people walked up to the front and saw that the group was standing there and looked into the venue.

"Just got in!"

Han Yiyi and the girls were all smiling excitedly.

"Little Plum is so handsome!"

"Haha, not as handsome as our teacher Lin Bao!"

"That's for sure! Our boss is a genius!"

Seeing a few girls giggling there, Lin Bao was also helpless.

However, although they can't go in to watch Xiao Lizi's live speech, it doesn't mean that they can't see Xiao Lizi.

"Teacher Lin Bao, you wait here for a while, I'll go first to see the situation, and then see if I can invite him over. ”

Wu An said suddenly.

"No need. ”

Lin Bao shook his head busily.

My own group of people is here to play, and people are participating in activities, so it is naturally not easy to disturb.

"Okay. ”

Wu An nodded, knowing that he was doing something abrupt.

After all, they are Hollywood superstars, and there must be a lot of inconvenience under such an occasion.

Other people, especially a few girls, were slightly disappointed when they saw that they didn't have the opportunity to meet Xiao Lizi in person, and asked him for an autograph.

However, since they couldn't see it, the group was not going to wait here, so when they rested, they got up and prepared to walk around.

The University of Southern California at night is also very beautiful, and the light fountains, especially the Gothic buildings of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, are set off by such an atmosphere, and there is a different sense of majesty and beauty.

After walking around the campus for an hour, seeing that the time was almost up, the group was ready to go back.

However, just as they were about to walk to the school gate, Wu An suddenly received a phone call, and then hurriedly ran over and said, "Teacher Lin Bao, Xiao Lizi said that he wants to come over to see you." ”

"Uh......"

Lin Bao was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Leonardo to know that he was coming.

"Then they ......"

Lin Bao looked around, and Han Yiyi had expectant eyes on his face.

"Together, I mentioned it earlier, and he said it's okay. ”

Wu An said with a smile.

"Wow, Brother Wu An, you are so handsome!"

Several girls suddenly smiled.

Looking at a group of girls praising themselves in various ways, Wu An touched his cheeks, which had been a little fat recently, and smiled.

Girls' compliments, just listen to them.

If you want to meet Xiao Lizi, it is definitely impossible to be directly outside. Otherwise, with his popularity in the United States, especially on the campus of the United States, it will definitely cause chaos on the scene.

Through the school's arrangement, the meeting is arranged in a small conference room.

"Teacher Lin Bao!"

As soon as he saw Lin Bao walk in, Leonardo couldn't help but stand up and walked over to shake his hand warmly.

"Hello, Mr. Leonardo!"

Lin Bao smiled.

"First of all, I want to congratulate you, the nomination of foreign language films! I've heard a lot of people from the academy say that this time, your "Farewell My Concubine" has the best chance of winning the award!"

Leonardo said loudly, with some envy in his tone.

is not only a director like Lin Bao, but an actor like him naturally hopes to get a little golden man.

However, over the years, the old men and old ladies who chose the Oscars have been nominated for the second time just like him, but they didn't let him win the award.

It's been eight years since the first nomination!

Lin Bao could also hear the regret and unwillingness in Leonardo's tone.

He smiled and didn't say anything.

In the Oscars, like several others, they are all comparative. Best Picture, special effects, sound effects, and even supporting actors, are relatively normal. But the best actor is more metaphysical.

Of course, the Oscars claim that for such an award, it is the highest requirement and the highest standard.

Not to mention Leonardo, he was nominated for Best Actor for the third time this year, in Hollywood, there is also an old-timer, in the sixties of the last century, he was nominated for the first Oscar for Best Actor, and this year, almost fifty years, nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor eight times, however, has not been able to win.

By this year, the old man is afraid that he is almost in his prime.

If it goes on like this, after that, what the Oscar can award to him is not the best actor, but a lifelong achievement.

The state and situation of Xiao Lizi and that one are actually very similar, if this continues, the group of old men and old ladies in the Oscars, I am afraid that they will have to torture him for a few more years before he can successfully win the little golden man.

"This is, Mr. Yu Chenghao......"

After shaking hands with Lin Bao, Leonardo looked behind him and saw Yu Chenghao in the crowd, very quiet and low-key.

Lin Bao's "Farewell My Concubine", he has watched it many times, and he is naturally impressed by the actor of the protagonist.

Born as a singer, under Lin Bao's training, in just a few months, he can have such an explosive performance, and he can definitely be regarded as an acting genius.

And this year, Yu Chenghao was also nominated for Best Actor for "Farewell My Concubine", which can be regarded as a contender for Leonardo.

"Hello, Mr. Leonardo, it is a great pleasure to meet you. ”

Yu Chenghao smiled and shook hands with him.

"Later, when we have time, we have to have a good look at acting. ”

Leonardo looked at him with a sudden hint of meaning in his eyes.

"Okay. ”

Yu Chenghao was not afraid, he suddenly glanced at Lin Bao in front of him, "However, in front of Teacher Lin Bao, I still don't show ugliness." ”

"That's right. ”

Leonardo also suddenly remembered Lin Bao.

This demon is now considered the originator, so don't compare.

After shaking hands with Yu Chenghao, Leonardo and Wu An chatted a few more words, and then shook hands with Lin Bao and his party one by one.

Immediately a few people sat down in the office and began to talk briefly.

"Wu An, very good, your previous performance. ”

The topic naturally started from Wu An, Leonardo said with a smile, "On the set you were on before, the director was my friend, and he spoke very highly of you. You know, just like you Oriental, I don't mean anything else, but in Hollywood, it is very rare for an Oriental person to get such an evaluation from those directors!"

"Thank you. ”

Wu An said busily.

"You're graduating this year, do you have any plans, if you need to, and want to continue to mix here, you just come to me. ”

Leonardo smiled.

Wu An looked at Lin Bao next to him, and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Leonardo!"
