"Recruitment?" Hearing Lin Nan use this word, Wei Junbo's face flashed with a strange color: "How are you going to recruit troops?" ”

"How do you do it! Actually, I've always believed in one thing! Lin Nan answered the question, took his eyes off Wei Junbo, and continued to look out the window.

A trace of doubt appeared on Wei Junbo's face, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The master is in the folk!" The corners of Lin Nan's mouth rose, revealing a shallow smile.

When Wei Junbo heard Lin Nan say this, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes: "Do you want to directly recruit scattered young directors and practitioners and dig out the materials that can be made in them?" ”

"No, that's too troublesome, how can we choose the one with real ability, or potential, among so many people?" Lin Nan shook his head and said.

"Indeed, it's too hard to tell!" Wei Junbo also nodded in approval of Lin Nan's statement when he heard it, and then asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"There are many people who are talented and capable, but they can't do it due to financial constraints, I can choose what they are interested in, and then help them solve the problem of funding!" Lin Nan said.

Wei Junbo frowned slightly, then shook his head and said with a solemn face: "Then this consumption is too great, even if it is a very low-cost movie, it will require at least millions of yuan of investment to complete the shooting, the company's current profit is really good, but it can't be so wasted!" ”

"Who said I'm going to fund their films?" Lin Nan glanced at Wei Junbo, who was puzzled, and then continued: "Junbo, do you know that there is a thing called micro-movies? ”

"Micro films?" It was the first time Wei Junbo had heard this word. A trace of doubt flashed on his face, and after repeating it several times, he literally analyzed the meaning of the word, so a trace of understanding flashed on his face: "Do you mean that you are talking about shooting a short film with a short time in the same way as shooting a movie, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing investment?" ”

"Almost!" Lin Nan nodded and said: "Micro film is actually similar to foreign short films, the reason why I call it micro film is because it will have three characteristics, that is, micro time, micro production, and micro investment!" ”

"The duration of a micro-film is generally between fifteen minutes and half an hour, and the number of participants is small, and the actors may only need three or five, and the cost is not too much. It is a new form of art communication, which is different from traditional movies and TV dramas. And it's not bound by any rules. Every creator with a dream of light and shadow. You can freely express the world with the lens, and freely express the story in your heart! Lin Nan explained to Wei Junbo the characteristics and advantages of micro-films.

After listening to Lin Nan's explanation, Wei Junbo's eyes also lit up, and then asked, "Then ...... are you going to prepare?"

"Preparing for an original short film contest!" Lin Nan continued Wei Junbo's words. Then the corners of his mouth go up. said: "But." The premise is that people must first know what a micro film is......"

Just when the follow-up copyright of "Those Years" was still creating a lot of income for Lin Nan, Lin Nan had already begun to prepare for the next thing.

He wants to hold an original micro-film competition, and wants to screen out young people with potential, ability and ideas. The best way is to make a micro-film for everyone to see, so that everyone can understand and accept this new art form.

If you want as many people as possible to accept this new art form, then this micro-film is naturally as popular as possible, so you need to be very careful about which micro-film to choose, these days, in addition to preparing the crew, Lin Nan has been frowning and thinking about the micro-movies in his mind for the rest of the time, wanting to choose one with a high degree of dissemination.

In the end, it was "Those Years" that gave Lin Nan a hint, if you want to say that the hottest theme today is naturally youth, then it is better to follow the trend and shoot youth, but this time Lin Nan is not going to shoot youth and love, but youth and dreams!

Dreams and love, like love, are two beautiful landscapes on the side of the road of youth, "Those Years" went one side, and "Old Boy" will help Lin Nan go the other side.

"Old Boy" is about a couple who are obsessed with Michael. Jackson's boy, a series of things from his student days to the year when he entered the society, the whole movie is based on the theme of youth and dreams, which has touched countless people, and that theme song is even more popular all over the country, even more popular than "Those Years".

As for Michael. Jackson, there is this world, and he is also the king of the global music scene, and he is no worse than the influence of the other world, so this is not a problem.

The other is the song "Old Boy", the tune used in "Old Boy" is actually a song by Japanese singer Takuya Ohashi, not original, but this is not a problem, Lin Nan doesn't have to think about whether there is a person in this world, Japan is still a colony in this world, and English is spoken, and the cultural products of another world do not exist at all in this world.

After these two points are solved, there will be no problem with the filming of "Old Boy", and the next step is to let Jiang Lin and them write the script, and then the casting can start filming directly.

Just do it, Lin Nan directly found Jiang Lin immediately, and then told him about "Old Boy", and told Jiang Lin some points to pay attention to, and after assigning the task, Lin Nan began to prepare for casting.

This casting is actually not troublesome, you can find a few extras at will, as for the school flower in the play, in fact, Lin Nan originally wanted Lin Qingyi to play it, but then it didn't seem to be suitable when he thought about it, and then he thought of Cao Qi'an, one of the three candidates for Shen Jiayi when filming "Those Years".

Cao Qi'an's image and acting skills Lin Nan was very satisfied at the beginning, but because Lin Qingyi was so good, he gave up Cao Qi'an, and now as soon as he had the opportunity, Lin Nan immediately thought of Cao Qi'an, but this time he didn't run to Fujian, but directly asked people to contact Cao Qi'an and ask Cao Qi'an if he was willing to act.

Cao Qi'an gave up acting in movies a long time ago after being rejected by Lin Nan in "Those Years", who would have thought that Lin Nan would send someone to find her again and ask her if she was willing to participate in the new film, when the staff sent by Lin Nan contacted her for the first time, Cao Qi'an thought it was a liar, and it wasn't until later that the person came up with a lot of evidence to prove that Cao Qi'an didn't believe it.

After learning that this was true, Cao Qi'an's excitement naturally didn't need to be said, and she agreed to Lin Nan to participate in this play without even asking what the play was, even if Lin Nan just asked her to play a small role that appeared for a second, she was satisfied!

A week later, Jiang Lin handed over the script to Lin Nan as scheduled, after Lin Nan got the script, he was very satisfied after reading it carefully, compared to "Old Boy" in another world, this time the story is more interesting and more compact, Lin Nan believes that the final effect will be much better than the original.

After all the actors in the script were in place, Lin Nan directly took the formed crew to start shooting, and Lin Nan attached great importance to this micro-film, so he was also extremely serious, and let the whole crew go all out.

Because Cao Qi'an is acting for the first time, he has a lot of discomfort when facing the camera, but he is also constantly improving, in fact, Lin Nan chose most of the new actors this time, so his acting skills are actually not very good, and the whole crew is slowly improving.

Lin Nan is not in a hurry, he thought of these things when he chose these actors, and the reason for resolutely using new actors is to implement the micro-production and micro-cost of micro-movies to the end, if he really spent 10 million to make a micro-movie, what is the point?

Originally, the purpose of shooting a micro-film was to take the lead, to make an example to tell everyone what a micro-film is, and to spend tens of millions of big names to gather it, is it still called a micro-movie?

When the filming of "Old Boy" started, it was already mid-to-late December, and a few days after the start of filming was New Year's Day and then entered the next year, Lin Nan expects that the filming will last for about a month, and it is expected that the filming will be completed before the year.

The fact is indeed similar to what Lin Nan expected, on December 23, the filming of "Old Boy" finally ended, and because it was close to the end of the year, Lin Nan did not rush to post-production of the film, but gave all the company's personnel annual leave, so that everyone could go home and have a good New Year.

Lin Nan's family doesn't have any relatives, and it's the same wherever the New Year is, so he didn't let his mother go back to Xijing, but let his mother stay in Haidu for the New Year, but during this period, Lin Nan still returned to Xijing, as long as it was to pay New Year's greetings to Zhan Xiaonan and Zhou Ping's parents, after all, one side is his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the other side is an uncle and aunt who watched him grow up, and it is a bit unreasonable not to go to see it during the New Year.

Zhan Xiaonan's mother was as nervous as ever, always taking advantage of Zhan Xiaonan's absence to look at Lin Nan, Zhan Xiaonan's mother's expression even a fool understood what it meant, and the translation was: "I want to hug my grandson!" ”

This also made Lin Nan only roll his eyes, he really had never been such a mother, and pushed his daughter out with all his might!

After returning to Haidu from Xijing, Lin Nan accompanied his mother to spend a very lively New Year, after all, Lin Nan is now too famous, and when it comes to the New Year, all kinds of insiders come to pay New Year's greetings, and the gifts even need Lin Nan to take out a special room to pile up.

On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Nan called Lan Li, who had not been seen for a long time, and they made an appointment to visit the old editor Xu Changtian today! (To be continued......)
