Chapter 40: The Devil Can Do It

"Condor" has come to an end, Zhang Dabeard invited some media to visit the class, and many stills appeared on the Internet.

Not to mention the plot, just talking about the shooting and framing, every one of the stills that flowed out is very beautiful, and with a group of actresses, it can arouse the curiosity of the public.

The only deficiency may be that Huang Xiaoming's Yang has passed, and there is a feeling of coming out of a soy sauce bottle.

One of the most eye-catching things in the industry recently is that Jiang Wen, who has been banned for five years, has returned to the director's position, and the former winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival is about to start a new film.

The movie "The Sun Also Rises", which is produced by Yinghuang and directed and co-written by Jiang Wen, has officially announced the list of actors, half of whom are Yinghuang's actors.

The students of the School of Drama have won many awards, but they all focus on actors, and there are few directors, but Jiang Wen is one of them.

The teachers and students of the two schools were still waiting for the auditions, but the lineup was set silently, making a group of people look forward to it in vain.

To be honest, since the incident of Xiao Bailong last year, everyone has some opinions about Hong Kong Island actors, especially their status.

Although others are the producers this time, many people still can't stand it, and Prince Long is stuffed in, and having a background is strong.

Listening to Zhu Yawen, Wang Jinghua had an idea at the beginning, but Jiang Wen didn't agree, and many domestic film companies tried it, but they all returned in vain.

There are not many big directors with names and surnames, and each of them is stared at by many people, in Zhu Yawen's words borrowed from Wang Jinghua: Lin Nan is a piece of fat, and it is easier to cooperate than Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang, because he has no community of interests and works alone.

Lin Nan didn't know whether to be happy or review after hearing this, and if he was alone like him, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find a second one.

The disadvantage is that you can't do a big production alone, and the advantage is that no one regards herself as an opponent, and when necessary, Lin Nan is the partner of Lin Nan.

Speaking of big productions, Lin Nan feels that it's time to try it, now that the box office and awards are available, it shouldn't be difficult to form a bureau, but at least after the release of "Stone", we will do detailed planning.

Take the time to continue to liver your own script, not only abroad, but also domestic.

……

A few days later, an invitation letter from France arrived at the film academy, and Lin Nan was called from the film screening room to the office of the director's department.

"Your letter." Lao Jiang pointed to the table, which was a transnational letter.

"What's that?" Lin Nan copied it and opened it by the way.

"What is it?" Several teachers came up, guessing and expecting at the same time.

"An invitation to the Festival de Cannes." Lin Nan said calmly.

"That's a good thing."

Looking at Lin Nan's indifferent appearance, several teachers wondered.

"A good thing is a good thing, but I don't have a work, what are I going to do? You can't take "Hidden in the Dust" again, right? I can't do such a thing. ”

After hearing this, everyone understands that the unspoken rules are there, and it is impossible for a film to win an award in Berlin and then go to Cannes, which will become a joke.

"It's the convention of the festival, and some well-known filmmakers will be invited." Lin Nan said something, but he didn't expect it to be sent to the school.

"That's a lot of things, even if you don't go, you have to reply."

"That's right, it's a courtesy reply."

Back in the dormitory, Lin Nan turned on the computer and wrote an email, which was sent to the official email on the invitation letter, which was regarded as thanking and declining the invitation, on the grounds that he was busy with work and studies, and could only look forward to participating in the next session.

School life is very comfortable, Lin Nan goes to the necessary courses every day, and the rest of the time is still writing scripts, occasionally asking about the company's situation, because there are often event invitations sent to the company.

"Return to Youth" was also screened in South Korea, China Film is responsible for docking and sharing accounts, this money may arrive at any time, Lin Nan also ordered people to keep an eye on it, if China Film has news, it will be docked as soon as possible.

For those scripts of Tun, Lin Nan plans to retain 100% of the copyright to himself even if he accepts investment in the future, which cannot be let go, especially some series scripts.

The publicity of "Stone" is in an orderly manner, and the light begins to exert its strength. After Lin Nan arranged the company's affairs, he was ready to leave in advance, and his passport and other documents were also prepared in advance.

At the beginning of April, it was the day of the exchange meeting of the Magic City Drama Academy, and after the end, Lin Nan was ready to fly directly to the United States from there.

There are no classes in the school recently, and the company has arranged everything that should be arranged, Lin Nan has advanced the schedule and is going to go over to play for two days first.

As an international metropolis, the magic city is also another important town in the domestic film and television entertainment industry, all based on the economy, rich in literature, art, fashion, film and television and other resources.

Without telling anyone else, Lin Nan came to the magic capital in the last two days of March.

Some of the Republican-style buildings are very old-fashioned, with a strong commercial atmosphere, and they are worthy of being economic bridgeheads.

Some local accents, Lin Nan couldn't understand, but it didn't prevent him from visiting some scenic spots, after all, foreign talents are the mainstream group.

Magic City Film and Television City, Lin Nan deliberately placed it at the top of the tour list, and Shangying made it very distinctive, and it was the first choice for filming dramas of that era.

A Huangpu River has witnessed how many past events in the magic capital.

The economy is getting bigger, the nightlife is richer, the lights are brighter, and the traffic on the road is more congested than during the day.

Lin Nan returned to the hotel, took a hot bath, and then turned on the TV to watch the news, and there were still foreign channels......

For two days in a row, I watched all the places I wanted to visit, and I met several TV crews during the process, and modern dramas have this benefit, you don't need to go to a specific cinema, just some office buildings.

In a blink of an eye, April Fool's Day, Lin Nan contacted Hu Ge, anyway, he has been here for two or three days, and it is time to meet Lao Hu.

He drove an off-road car and came to the hotel to find Lin Nan, "I heard that the school has booked a hotel for everyone who participates in the exchange meeting, do you want to move there?" ”

"No need. I walked around alone for two days, and while there was still one day left for the exchange meeting, let you, a local, take me around again. Lin Nan wore sunglasses and went to the parking lot with Hu Ge.

"I still underestimate your popularity, and there are secretly taken pictures to follow." In the underground parking lot, Lin Nan said to Hu Ge.

"Where?" Hugo asked, looking around.

"The black SUV on the side of the wall inside." Saying that, Lin Nan also waved his hand over there, and he also inadvertently swept it just now.

"Since "Fairy Sword" was broadcast, there has been this problem, haha."

The two got into the car, and Hugo was ready to treat him to dinner.

"That person just now is Lin Nan, right?"

In a black SUV, a man with glasses looked at the camera and asked.

The person on the side came over and looked at it, "It's him, did you capture the action of waving just now?" ”

"Got it, they're friends?"

"It seems that there is Lin Nan in some stills of "Fairy Sword", and Liu Yifei should have met at that time."

"It's earned." The man with glasses rejoiced.

"We're lucky, haha."

……

A restaurant where Hu Ge treats guests to eat sashimi, "When I open one one day, my friends will come over and come directly to my shop." ”

Hugo swore an oath.

Lin Nan gave a thumbs up: "Good idea, I'm optimistic about you." ”

The city has a strong petty bourgeois atmosphere, and foreign cuisine always seems to be noble, and everyone is willing to show their identity in this way, as if this is not an ordinary person.

"Mr. Cai wants to invite you to the company as a guest."

Lin Nan ate the fish that was not cheap and did not answer this sentence.

After swallowing the fish, he spoke, "If I go, I will inevitably say something else, but I still won't go." ”

"Hehe, who made you be able to write scripts and be a big director, Mr. Cai just wanted to lean on the movie." Hu Ge did not deny Cai Yinong's thoughts.

"If you don't go, you won't go, anyway, at the exchange meeting, you will also meet." Hugo added.

As a local film and television company, Tang will definitely receive an invitation.

"At the meeting, we can talk a few words at most, and you can still pull me to say cooperation?" Lin Nan said disapprovingly.

When the two of them came out of the restaurant, two hours had passed.

Hu Ge answered the phone and glanced at Lin Nan, "It's on the news." ”

Lin Nan understood what he meant, the two people just now were quite efficient.

"Let's go, it's time for the landlord to entertain guests, what is a good place that only locals know, go around."

"Okay, let's go."

……

At half past eight in the morning of the fourth, Lin Nan took Hu Ge's car to the Modu Drama Academy.

The car was parked and the two walked around the campus.

"How's it going, compared to film school?"

"There are definitely differences, the architectural styles are all different, okay."

"Today's exchange meeting, there are a lot of people coming, I can't get in then, you call me when you're done." Hugo said.

"There are still two hours, in a hurry to say this? Take me around your school first. ”

"Then let's go, don't be dazzled by the beauty."

"Do you think there are fewer beauties in Nortel and Chinese opera than in your school?" Lin Nan retorted.

The first thing to see is the Foxi Building, which was built to commemorate one of the pioneers and founders of domestic drama, Xiong Foxi, who was also the first president of the college.

When he arrived at the dance academy, Lin Nan saw it for a long time, because Hu Ge took him to the rehearsal hall and enjoyed a piece of ballet through the glass wall, which can only be said to be beautiful.

Lin Nan of the Academy of Drama couldn't understand it, but he was very shocked, on the stage, the students who wore makeup were full of flags behind them......

walked several places in a row, and finally Hu Ge brought Lin Nan to the performance department.

"After thinking about it, I'll lead you here." Hu Ge smiled treacherously, with a triumphant expression.

Among the three major art academies, the performance department is always the place with the highest appearance and quality.

"Yuan Hong, you come down." Hugo roared.

Lin Nan wanted to pounce and cover his mouth, is there such a roar?

Hu Ge has already become popular with "Fairy Sword", and when he shouted outside, five or six people came out.

"Come on, come on, I'll kidnap Director Lin for you." Hugo laughed loudly.

Lin Nan had no choice but to say hello, "Hello everyone, I'm here to attend the exchange meeting." ”

It stands to reason that there are so many seniors who stay in school.

Could it be that there is an exchange meeting, and there are many film and television companies and producers who have come back to try their luck and find opportunities?

The leader is Hu Ge's sworn friend, Yuan Hong, who signed with the same company, and the others have no impression.

It wasn't just seniors who were drawn in, but also students from other grades.

Lin Nan saw a distinctive, group of handsome men and beautiful women sandwiched between an old man, Lei Jiayin.
