Chapter XXXVIII
The convention center is huge, right on the side of the Organising Committee.
Headed by Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and Li An, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Lin Nan, Feng Xiaogang and other three major universities, several major studios or private companies, and directors with names and surnames have all come, as well as several Hong Kong Island and foreign directors.
At a glance, all of them have won awards at home and abroad, and they have achievements.
Director Chen, who is eager to try, is currently in a stable position; Zhang Yimou may still be thinking about the defeat of Athens; Li An obviously has a plan.
Looking at the others, they are more or less hot-eyed and full of energy.
The director of the opening ceremony, what a tempting errand, how many people can not be moved.
People live for a lifetime, for fame and profit, but the position of the director of the opening ceremony can gain fame and fortune! As for failure? Who would think about the consequences, and which one is not proud?
Only Lin Nan understands that only a small number of people here come for responsibility and honor.
He's not that piece of material, he pretends to be dead, and he should be able to make do with the fighting assistance, but the main force will definitely not be able to do it.
"This is an opportunity to show our 5,000-year-old culture to the world, a major event for the country and the nation, and a grand ceremony that attracts worldwide attention." We hope that you will actively participate and contribute your ideas......"
Today's meeting is mainly to announce the competition for the chief director of the opening ceremony, as well as what the candidates need to prepare, and the time period for the competition.
The story was not kept under wraps from the public, and the media began to report it, and the illustrations were photos of a group of directors leaving the convention center.
"The chief director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games competed, and hundreds of great directors gathered in the Olympic Organizing Committee."
Lin Nan was honored to be on the camera, a group of middle-aged and elderly people mixed in with a young one, which seemed a little out of place and was particularly conspicuous.
No matter what other people do, Lin Nan has made up his mind that he will not get involved in the matter of competitive bidding.
He is self-aware, in such a big battle, no one is more suitable than Zhang Yimou, talented, energetic, experienced, and practical!
Thinking about the process from the result, Lin Nan was taken aback, this is what was prepared for Lao Zhang.
Thinking of this, Lin Nan left what to bid for. I went back to school and started a rare comfortable life.
Looking through the news in the circle, Zhang Ziyi is really smooth, several movies were released in North America in the past two years, and he became an Oscar judge last month.
This year has just begun, and she has steadily become an internationally famous movie star, and the international chapter is already worthy of its name.
Among Zhang Yimou's popular actresses, the most successful ones are Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, and Lin Nan admires Gong Li more.
It is said that Zhang Ziyi followed Gong Li's template to go up, but after all, it can't be compared.
Zhu Yawen is back, and it seems that she has learned a lot from Wang Jinghua, and she is already a qualified student.
"I recently signed a play, and I'm going to join the group after a while."
Zhu Yawen drank water and said: "Recently, whether it is a signed play, an endorsement or a magazine, Huayi ...... has bypassed"
Lin Nan heard what this meant, Wang Jinghua had already begun to cut interests.
"What's the play?" Lin Nan asked.
"It's all TV series, and there are still few movie resources, Sister Hua really can't compare with Hua Yi, but I'm quite satisfied, with your two movies as the foundation, I'm doing well now." Zhu Yawen looked satisfied.
"It's good to mix well, there are suitable roles, and I will consider you."
Lin Nan said.
"I can remember, it's up to you whether your buddy can become popular or not."
Zhu Yawen jumped out again in an instant, and Lin Nan knew the temperament of this product, and it couldn't be stable for a few minutes.
"Anyway, you are a thigh now, and other artists under Sister Hua have asked me about you, especially the intention of the new drama."
Zhu Yawen said that Lin Nan knew that after returning from Berlin, he would face this kind of thing almost once in two or three days, and there were many people who handed over the message, such as school, light, China Film, Shangying, actors he had worked with, and those who had his contact information were all asking.
Lin Nan all shirked it with no plan for the time being, and when "Return to Youth" broke 100 million, it was a little inferior to this.
"The feeling of pain and pleasure." Lin Nan smiled.
"Look at your face, it's still on display." Zhu Yawen was also very sour, "You are the most successful in level 02, a big director, who has both box office and awards." ”
"Haha, it seems to be really ......"
Lin Nan smiled very presumptuously, and good friends let go of each other.
"Actually, Sister Hua also hinted to me that you can ask you for resources." Zhu Yawen said bluntly.
Lin Nan is prepared for this, Wang Jinghua is an ace agent, and she will not let go of any opportunity, especially after knowing that Zhu Yawen has a very strong relationship with herself, it is a matter of time before she speaks.
"Well, rest assured. I'll take care of you, brother. Lin Nan quipped.
Zhu Yawen opened his mouth to say the quintessence of the country, and the two have long been accustomed to this way of getting along.
……
"Fairy Sword" has begun to be broadcast in the second round, and the popularity is unimaginable, only under "Supergirl".
Mango Channel has learned from the experience of the first session, and this year's launch promotion is better than last year's.
Some serious students in the school also went to participate in the competition, but more teachers and students still don't look down on this kind of draft.
Director Tian Zhuangzhuang united several peers and prepared to cooperate and compete together, which is also a way of competition.
Lin Nan made his thoughts clear and did not participate in the competition for the chief director, and after being persuaded by the above, it was over.
After all, he is too young, unlike Zhang Yimou. I heard that the organizing committee is trying its best to persuade Zhang Yimou not to be too relieved of the previous failure.
Zhang Yimou did not admit defeat and promised that he would actively prepare for the bidding.
"Return to Youth" was released in South Korea last month, and the export was selected in the account-sharing mode, and the data from China Film showed that the number of moviegoers was close to two million, which was very popular with young people, and the box office results were very good.
Exports can make money, it is good news, plus Lin Nan's Berlin harvest last month, Yang Ma gave an 8-second report in the text message.
Lin Nan has become another business card of the director department.
Tom contacted Lin Nan again, the copyright of a certain script, the other party still wanted, this time the attitude was much better, and he wanted to negotiate with Lin Nan head-on.
"America?"
Lin Nan should go over there, Tom helped him register a lot of scripts, bought a lot of novel copyrights, and went to see them, just taking advantage of this opportunity.
told Tom a time and asked him to tell the other party that Lin Nan would arrive early at that time.
The publicity of "Stone" has already begun, because there is still a month and a half left, so the level of publicity is not very high, and it is limited to posters.
Lin Nan's name is also on the poster, producers, producers, screenwriters, and industry insiders already know that this movie is fully invested by Lin Nan.
In view of the fact that the copyright of Lin Nan's last wholly-owned "Hidden in the Dust" sold for more than 8 million US dollars, and this one is a commercial film, everyone is very optimistic about its box office.
As soon as the publicity began, it attracted enough eyeballs.
The cost of eight million was revealed, and it was a gimmick to be small and big.
"Hidden in the Dust", which costs three million, has earned more than 20 times, and it has not yet been released in China, and people with red eyes are already everywhere.
The 8 million cost of "Stone", how much it can earn, is obviously more worth looking forward to.
After meeting Ye Ning last time, I haven't been in touch until "Stone" starts to promote.
Ye Ning made a phone call, and when he contacted his feelings, he said that he would definitely take care of "Stone" in the film scheduling, and hoped that he would have the opportunity to cooperate as soon as possible in the future, and Lin Nan readily agreed.
It's only March, but the competition in this year's film market has kicked off, and several blockbusters have already revealed their release times, all in the second half of the year.
This is also the reason why Lin Nan put "Stone" on May Day, limited by the theme of "Hidden in the Dust", and it will be released on July 1 at the latest.
Ning Hao really regards "Stone" as his turnaround, and is more eager than Lin Nan in terms of publicity.
The publicity of the light, the interview on the portal and the talk shows of various TV stations, as long as there is an opportunity, Ning Hao will urge Lin Nan, and will also see which main creator has a slot to go with.
In just one week, Lin Nan recorded nine interviews non-stop, and each time he had to change his way to tell the story of the difficulty of creating the script, the crew's intentions, and the recognition of Ning Hao's directorial skills.
"These days, all the words that can be thought of have been said, and if the box office is not strong at that time, it will become a joke."
Lin Nan joked, it was just a joke, he didn't think that "Stone" would hit the street, he just teased Ning Hao.
Huang Bo has also been on the show a few times recently, and he cherishes these opportunities.
Ning Hao smiled and said nothing, he directed the movie throughout the whole process, he was very optimistic about "Stone", and boasted more than once in the studio that the script was good.
Huang Bo hummed a small tune, he was in a very good mood, and he had made a lot of announcements recently.
"I forgot, Lao Huang, you are a singer, isn't this bad!"
Lin Nan suddenly remembered that Huang Bo was still a resident singer, and when it came to singing, Lin Nan was incomplete and couldn't do it.
"That's right, one day I'll ask you to sing K, so that you can see my skills."
"Okay."
Of course, the publicity and distribution cost of "Stone" is also paid by Lin Nan's company, and he will not agree to the proportional sharing of the box office, "Hidden in the Dust" has a special theme, so it is excepted.
Separated from Ning Hao and Huang Bo, Lin Nan returned to the company alone.
Looking at the stack of letters sent in by the front desk of the company, it is not a matter of throwing it away, but it can only be picked up and read one by one.
There are invitations to film premieres, letters of self-recommendation, academic exchanges, symposiums......
More formally, I made a phone call at the same time as sending the letter, and those who recommended themselves couldn't contact Lin Nan, so they could only send it to the company.
Seeing the back, there was an invitation to exchange in the film and television industry, which attracted Lin Nan's attention.
The film and television symposium invitation from the Magic City Drama Academy is still a while away.
Lin Nan has never crossed paths with that side, except for getting acquainted with Hu Ge in the crew of "Fairy Sword".
The three major colleges, one is biased towards film, two are biased towards drama, and the two drama academies in the south and north are very dramatist.
It's hard to refuse an official invitation from the school. If you stop by to attend an exchange meeting, it should not affect the itinerary to fly to America.
Thinking of this, Lin Nan took out the phone and dialed a number.
The busy signal was interrupted, "Who's it, please?" ”
It's actually a woman? Lin Nan was surprised.
"I'm looking for Hugo."
"I'm his assistant, who are you?"
"I'm Lin Nan, is he busy?"
The other side of the phone was obviously stunned, and then a little uncertain, "Lin Nan...... Director? ”
"It's me."
